Pierre Boulez is acknowledged as one of the most important
composers in contemporary musical life. This collection explores
his works, influence, reception and legacy, shedding new light on
Boulez's music and its historical and cultural contexts. In two
sections that focus firstly on the context of the 1940s and 1950s,
and secondly on the development of the composer's style, the
contributors address recurring themes such as Boulez's approach to
the serial principle and the related issues of form and large-scale
structure. Featuring excerpts from Boulez's correspondence with a
range of his contemporaries here published for the first time, the
book illuminates both Boulez's relationship with them and his
thinking concerning the challenges which confronted both him and
other leading figures of the European avant-garde. In the final
section, three chapters examine Boulez's relationship with
audiences in the United Kingdom, and the development of the
appreciation of his music.
