Leading authorities explore, in direct and accessible language,
chamber-music masterpieces by twenty-one prominent composers since
1900. Two volume set: Modern composers as diverse as Bela Bartok,
Maurice Ravel, Benjamin Britten, and John Cage have confided some
of their most personal and intense thoughts to the medium of the
string quartet. The resulting repertoire has won the allegiance of
string players and of listeners in the concert hall and at home.
Yet, until now, no book has addressed the language of these
remarkable works, their interactions with the masterpieces of
Beethoven and others, and their new approaches to musical
expression. Intimate Voices, organized in rough chronological
order, offers the observations and intuitions of twenty leading
authorities on quartets by twenty-one composers from eleven
countries. Its two volumes -- available separately or together --
comprise an indispensable guide to amateur and professional chamber
musicians, scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper
acquaintance with the great achievements of twentieth-century
music. Edited by Evan Jones, Associate Professor of Music Theory,
Florida State University College of Music Contents and authors:
