520 a| Elliott Carter assesses Varèse's position among the "heroic avant garde" of the 1920s and the importance of Varèse's music to two generations of younger composers--during the 1920s and again, after an eclipse, from the 1950s--provides an especially valuable perspective. Robert P. Morgan has written about Varèse's music in a number of articles, but nowhere more cogently than in his well-titled study "Rewriting Music History: Second Thoughts on Ives and Varèse" in the Musical Newsletter issues of January and April 1973. There he argued a new interpretation of the main lines of twentieth-century music and crystallized a point of view that many were ready to accept. His essay here concentrates on inter-relations of rhythm and pitch structures. The composer Chou Wen-chung came to study with Varèse in 1949 and became over many years his closest musical associate. His editions and analyses, therefore, have carried a special authority. Chou's study of Ionisation is a product of discussion with students over several years, as he states in his end-note, and has had something of the status of an underground classic in analytic circles. A shorter version was made available for publication in Germany, but the study appears here in fully developed form, and with musical examples.;

Abstract	Elliott Carter assesses Varèse's position among the "heroic avant garde" of the 1920s and the importance of Varèse's music to two generations of younger composers--during the 1920s and again, after an eclipse, from the 1950s--provides an especially valuable perspective. Robert P. Morgan has written about Varèse's music in a number of articles, but nowhere more cogently than in his well-titled study "Rewriting Music History: Second Thoughts on Ives and Varèse" in the Musical Newsletter issues of January and April 1973. There he argued a new interpretation of the main lines of twentieth-century music and crystallized a point of view that many were ready to accept. His essay here concentrates on inter-relations of rhythm and pitch structures. The composer Chou Wen-chung came to study with Varèse in 1949 and became over many years his closest musical associate. His editions and analyses, therefore, have carried a special authority. Chou's study of Ionisation is a product of discussion with students over several years, as he states in his end-note, and has had something of the status of an underground classic in analytic circles. A shorter version was made available for publication in Germany, but the study appears here in fully developed form, and with musical examples.
