Compositional Process in Elliott Carter's String Quartets is an
interdisciplinary study examining the evolution and compositional
process in Elliott Carter's five string quartets. Offering a
systematic and logical way of unpacking concepts and processes in
these quartets that would otherwise remain opaque, the book's
narrative reveals new aspects of understanding these works and
draws novel conclusions on their collective meaning and Carter's
place as the leading American modernist. Each of Carter's five
string quartets is driven by a new idea that Carter was exploring
during a particular period, which allows for each quartet to be
examined under a unique lens and a deeper understanding of his
oeuvre at large. Drawing on key ideas from a variety of subjects
including performance studies, philosophy, music cognition, musical
meaning and semantics, literary criticism, and critical theory,
this is an informative volume for scholars and researchers in the
areas of music theory and musicology. Analyses are supplemented
with sketch study, correspondence, text manuscripts, and other
archival sources from the Paul Sacher Stiftung, the Library of
Congress, and the New York Public Library.
