While acknowledging that Pierre Boulez is not a philosopher, and
that he is wary of the potential misuse of philosophy with regard
to music, this study investigates a series of philosophically
charged terms and concepts which he uses in discussion of his
music. Campbell examines significant encounters which link Boulez
to the work of a number of important philosophers and thinkers,
including Adorno, Levi-Strauss, Eco and Deleuze. Relating Boulez's
music and ideas to broader currents of thought, the book
illuminates a number of affinities linking music and philosophy,
and also literature and visual art. These connections facilitate
enhanced understanding of post-war modernist music and Boulez's
distinctive approach to composition. Drawing on a wide range of
previously unpublished documentary sources and providing musical
analysis of a number of key scores, the book traces the changing
musical, philosophical and intellectual currents which inform
Boulez's work.
