Twentieth-century music has been described as complex, vital,
diverse, uncertain, experimental, self-conscious, innovative-the
list is long and growing. Composers have been both credited with
and accused of always searching for something "new," writing works
that are mechanistic but romantic, meaningful but unskilled,
beautiful but ugly! In The Twentieth Century, Robert P. Morgan
helps us grasp the flavor of the era by presenting forty-five
readings from the period, nearly all written by active participants
in the musical developments of the time. Thus we tune in to the
voices of some thirty composers-from Busoni to Babbitt, Ives to
Xenakis, Satie to Stravinsky-and learn from performers Anderson and
Landowska, philosopher-critics Adorno, Dahlhaus, and Meyer, and
writers Cocteau, Barthes, and Eco.
