[Music] Bernstein, Leonard Inscribed Musical Quotation from "West Side Story"
"I've just met a girl named Maria..."
No place, no date. One sheet, 11 1/4 x 8 1/2 in. (286 x 216 mm). Autograph musical quotation from the song "Maria", from the 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story, signed in pen by composer Leonard Bernstein, under lyricist Stephen Sondheim's typed words. In fine condition.
Memorably sung by Richard Beymer as former Jet Tony in the 1961 film adaptation, when he learns the name of the girl he's fallen in love with--Natalie Wood's Maria.
