Great music arouses wonder: how did the composer create such an
original work of art? What was the artist's inspiration, and how
did that idea become a reality? Cultural products inevitably arise
from a context, a submerged landscape that is often not easily
accessible. To bring such things to light, studies of the creative
process find their cutting edge by probing beyond the surface,
opening new perspectives on the apparently familiar. In this
intriguing study, William Kinderman opens the door to the
composer's workshop, investigating not just the final outcome but
the process of creative endeavor in music. Focusing on the stages
of composition, Kinderman maintains that the most rigorous basis
for the study of artistic creativity comes not from anecdotal or
autobiographical reports, but from original handwritten sketches,
drafts, revised manuscripts, and corrected proof sheets. He
explores works of major composers from the eighteenth century to
the present, from Mozart's piano music and Beethoven's Piano Trio
in F to Kurtag's Kafka Fragments and Hommage a R. Sch. Other
chapters examine Robert Schumann's Fantasie in C, Mahler's Fifth
Symphony, and Bartok's Dance Suite. Kinderman's analysis takes the
form of "genetic criticism," tracing the genesis of these cultural
works, exploring their aesthetic meaning, and mapping the
continuity of a central European tradition that has displayed
remarkable vitality for over two centuries, as accumulated legacies
assumed importance for later generations. Revealing the diversity
of sources, rejected passages and movements, fragmentary unfinished
works, and aborted projects that were absorbed into finished
compositions, The Creative Process in Music from Mozart to Kurtag
illustrates the wealth of insight that can be gained through
studying the creative process.
