This guide to the more adventurous evolutions of music since
1945--pointillism, post-Webernism, integral serialism, free
dodecaphony, aleatory and indeterminate music, graphics, musique
concrete, electronic music, and theatre music--was first published
in 1975 and has been reprinted several times. For this second
edition, Smith Brindle has added a new chapter reviewing
developments over the decade since first publication. He discusses
the decline of experimentalism and the reaction against increasing
cerebralism and complexity as variously illustrated by the more
recent works of Stockhausen, the minimalist works of Reich and
Glass, and the partial return to romanticism. He also reviews the
technological revolution which has taken place in computer music
and concludes that the future of music will for the time being be
most closely associated with technological change and development,
rather than with radical changes in compositional techniques.
