Desirable AMQS on a white 4.5 x 3 card, signed and inscribed in blue ink, "For Peter Bland, Leonard Bernstein." Bernstein pens two bars from his classic composition 'Maria,' one of the most memorable songs from West Side Story. In very fine condition.

With its soaring melody and emotional depth, 'Maria' remains a timeless testament to Bernstein's genius in blending classical music elements with popular musical theater.
