First survey of Copland's entire output for some 30 years - a
period seeing some of his most important works. Aaron Copland was
one of the twentieth century's most popular and distinguished
composers. Copland was born in 1900 in Brooklyn, where he began his
musical career, before moving to the Paris in the 1920s, where
Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Les Six were the centre of attention. On
his return to the United States at the end of the decade he began
to produce a series of works which could leave no one in any doubt
that American composers were capable of writing music equal to the
best of their European contemporaries. This chronological survey of
Copland's work discusses ever one of his compositions and examines
his influential writings on music. Profusely illustrated with
musicexamples and photographs, it includes a conversation on the
piano music with Aaron Copland and Leo Smit and also features
sketches of Copland in rehearsal by Milein Cosman. NEIL BUTTERWORTH
was formerly Head of Music atNapier College, Edinburgh.
