One of the foremost composers of the twentieth century, Olivier
Messiaen wrote widely on his music and on his beliefs. This is the
first edition of his early journalism and provides both the
original French text and an English translation. The writing in
this volume dates from the 1930s, before the composer gained the
international reputation that he and his music now enjoy. The
pieces he wrote range from reviews of individual performances to
essays on particular works or composers and articles that discuss
more general themes such as sincerity of expression in music. Many
of the articles included in this collection are new to the Messiaen
bibliography, and others are available here for the first time in
English. A number are, as Broad describes them, 'quietly shocking'
in that they force us to reappraise certain aspects of the composer
such as his role in La Jeune France, and his wider participation in
the debates of his time. This edition, therefore, represents a new
source for understanding Messiaen and provides a fascinating
glimpse of the composer in the early part of his career.
