Very informative, as always, thanks.
This sent me back to FINISHING THE HAT where I was surprised to find that Sondheim writes a very long note to the reader after the lyrics for "One More Kiss," beginning "This was the first song I wrote for FOLLIES" but never saying anything about it being originally a solo.
This is not at all to state that I doubt the veracity of what you've learned. MAYBE Sondheim was so caught up with writing at length about pastiche that he forgot and/or neglected to mention that the song changed after that initial writing. |
