Changes

Bernstein helped Classical music reach millions of children through his "Young People's Concerts" and gained worldwide critical success as a pianist, composer, and conductor. His multiple talents led him to established reputations as a conductor of traditional literature ([[Mozart]], [[Beethoven]], etc.), the high Romantics ([[Mahler ]] and Bruckner), and especially [[opera]], for which he became admired in the leading opera houses of the world. Like [[George Gershwin]], he was eager to straddle the classical and popular music worlds and did so in music halls, [[jazz ]] clubs, opera halls, television, and the avante garde scene.<ref>Leonard Bernstein, Obituary, ''New York Times Learning Network''[http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0825.html]</ref>
