This is an original sheet of music paper from The Juilliard School, dated 1997, which has been personally signed and extensively annotated by John Williams himself.
Written directly on the front of the sheet in his own hand are playful yet instructive annotations that read like a master coaching a student. He has written the words "Study Boy!" along with a series of specific performance directions: "Stand up straight, attention at your First section, hand to the sky… and begin!"
The sheet originates from The Juilliard School during a time when Williams maintained strong connections with the institution, often working with and mentoring young musicians.
