"An extremely important and gracefully written book on a
significant and controversial topic. It is the most thoroughgoing
study of Ives's compositional procedures that has yet been
attempted."-Larry Starr, author of A Union of Diversities: Style in
the Music of Charles Ives "A unique in-depth study of Ives's works,
the most panoramic view of the music ever written, based on a new
and convincing perspective."-H. Wiley Hitchcock, City University of
New York "A unique, pathbreaking, and utterly convincing study of
Ives's music."-David Nicholls, BBC Music Magazine "A well-balanced
view of Ives's music. . . . A] pathbreaking study."-David Nicholls,
Times Literary Supplement "This book should be in the library of
every scholar with a serious interest in Ives's music. . . .
Burkholder's writing throughout . . . is refreshingly clear, and
his ability to organize vast amounts of detail into coherent and
logical sequences is one of the greatest strengths of the book, and
particularly appropriate to its subject."-Kathryn Bumpass, Notes
"The book is well stocked with music examples and tables, enabling
it to be used as a reference work, and has almost 100 pages of
notes and bibliography. It abundantly fulfils its promise 'to help
us hear the music better' and enriches our experience of Ives in a
way that is totally sympathetic to the man and his music."-Peter
Dickinson, Music & Letters "Burkholder's remarkable book
succeeds in creating a different composite portrait of the musical
consciousness of a great composer."-Judith Tick, American Music
