Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) was the best-known Japanese composer of
his generation, bringing aspects of Eastern and Western traditions
together, yet he remained something of an elusive figure. The
composer's own commentaries about his music, poetic and
philosophical in tone, have tended to deepen the mystery and much
writing on Takemitsu to date has adopted a similar attitude,
leaving many questions about his compositional methods unanswered.
This book is the first complete study of the composer's work to
appear in English. It is also the first book in this language to
offer an in-depth analysis of his music. Takemitsu's works are
increasingly popular with Western audiences and Peter Burt attempts
for the first time to shed light on the hitherto rather secretive
world of his working methods, as well as place him in context as
heir to the rich tradition of Japanese composition in the twentieth
century.
