Alberto Ginastera: A Research and Information Guide is the first
bio-bibliographic study of the composer and the only published book
on the subject in English. This work fills a critical gap in
contemporary music studies by enriching our knowledge of one of the
most compelling creative voices of the Americas. Given the lack of
prior systematic attention to Ginastera, this book establishes a
firm foundation for future scholarship. It includes a detailed
biographical sketch of the composer that quotes extensively from
his letters. It summarizes the defining features of his style and
encompasses his infrequently explored late works. It offers the
most comprehensive catalogue of Ginastera's music to date and
provides an annotated list of his published writings. This book
contains over 400 annotated bibliographic entries that refer to
critically selected sources in English, Spanish, French, German,
and Italian. The last chapter offers new information about archival
holdings and internet resources that facilitates research on this
composer. An appendix featuring a detailed chronology of
Ginastera's career completes this work.
