Pierre Boulez is one of the most influential-and
controversial-figures in the world of contemporary music. As
composer, conductor, and critic, his challenging views of modern
developments are lent a special authority by his high standing as
an interpreter of classic composers. Orientations will enhance his
reputation as a lucid expositor of the modern composer's world.
When writing about composing and analysis Boulez forges a new way
of thinking about music. He is immensely illuminating about his own
compositions. He offers special insight on composers with whom he
has been particularly associated as a conductor-including Berlioz,
Debussy, Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, and Messiaen. And
he writes about performance and orchestras, tackling the question
of how to make new music more familiar for the concert-goer. This
rich and wide-ranging volume is truly a special resource for
everyone wanting to learn more about twentieth-century music.
