For nearly a century, it has inspired composers, scholars, critics,
performers, and visual artists. Severine Neff re-creates for
her readers the quartet's historical, cultural, and musical
background–its introduction of the human voice, its genesis
during a personal crisis in the composer's life, the scandal at its
premiere, and its endlessly controversial reception, both critical
and analytic. This volume includes a newly edited,
authoritative score of the quartet, as well as previously
unavailable and newly translated texts by Grant Chorley.
"Indispensable for understanding one of the central compositions of
the twentieth century."—Walter Frisch, Columbia University.
