Abstract Writings on Glass highlights the life and career of America's best-known classical composer, Philip Glass. Well-known as a champion of minimalism, Glass's operas (Einstein on the Beach; Satyograha), film scores (Koyaanisqatsi; The Thin Blue Line), and symphonic and popular works have made him a dominant figure on the American musical landscape. This book traces the development of Glass's varied work through in-depth interviews, along with critical writings by leading musicologists.
