I have had the oddest yen to find the piano score of Slaughter on 10th Avenue to play through it. I don't know why, I've never had the inclination to play anything by Richard Rogers before in my life. I know it mostly from the movie where the wonderful Eddie Albert (one of the most unjustly persecuted of those on the Hollywood blacklist) and Vera Zorina* did it to choreography by George Balanchine (Zorina was married to him). I loved Eddie Albert, great work for a non-dancer.
* She remarried a few times, I think, after she and Balanchine divorced, her son with one of them was the fine composer the late Peter Lieberson.
