Elliott Carter (b.1908) is now generally acknowledged as America's
most eminent living composer. This definitive volume of his essays
and lectures -- many previously unpublished or uncollected -- shows
his thinking and writing on music and associated issues developing
in parallel with his career as a composer; his reputation became
established in the 1950s, and the material in this book offers an
important and knowledgeable commentary on the course of American
and European music in the succeeding decades. Carter's articles on
his own music have become classic texts for students of his oeuvre;
he also writes on the state of new music in Europe and the United
States and the relations between music and the other arts. Other
pieces range from a consideration of aspects of music to the work
of individual composers. As a whole, the collection is the
expression of Carter's musical philosophy, and a valuable record
for historians of modern music.
