His marvelous text goes a long way toward placing Stephen Sondheim among the towering artists of the late twentieth century!"--Cornel West, Princeton University "Sondheim's career and music have never been so skillfully dissected, examined, and put in context. With its focus on his work as composer, this book is surprising and welcome."--Theodore S. Chapin, President and Executive Director, The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization ". . . an intriguing 'biography' of the songwriter's style. ... Swayne is to be congratulated for taking the study of this unique composer/lyricist into hitherto unnavigated waters."--Stage Directions "The research is voluminous, as are the artistry and perceptiveness.

For the Sondheim aficionados, there are new ideas and new information, and for others, Swayne's How Sondheim Found His Sound will provide an intriguing introduction into the mind of arguably the greatest and most influential living Broadway composer." -talkinbroadway.com "What a fascinating book, full of insights large and small.
