These previously unpublished lectures by Elliott Carter date to the
summer of 1967, when the acclaimed composer taught at the
Contemporary Music Workshop held by the University of Minnesota.
Leading an introductory course on orchestra repertoire, Carter gave
nine hours of lectures covering principal topics like how to live
with the musical present and whether the symphony orchestra was a
relic of the past or a possible active force for new music. But
Carter's observations and prompts by audience questions broadened
the discussion into areas ranging from electronic music to analyses
of works by other artists and himself. Laura Emmery presents the
complete text from each session alongside introductions,
commentary, and annotated examples that provide valuable context
for readers. Expansive and essential, Elliott Carter Speaks opens
up the artist's teaching and introspection to new contemporary
perspectives on his thought and art. Please note that the order and
arrangement of materials in this book differs from that of Elliott
Carter's original lectures.
