La
siguiente lista de canciones fue seleccionada por Stephen Sondheim para un concierto en su honor que
celebró la Biblioteca
del Congreso estadounidense. Curiosamente (y de ahí el título de la lista:
"al menos en parte"), hay varias que proceden de grandes fiascos
teatrales, como Kelly o Donnybrook! y
también algunas sorpresas de autores como Xavier Montsalvatge.
