| Abstract | This book traces the development of classical music from the early years of the twentieth century to the present day and beyond. Covering the major figures of the past hundred years, from Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Varese, and Webern to Boulez, Cage, and Stockhausen, the text offers a guided tour of the sense behind the sound and a concise analysis of major musical trends. Using insights gained from hundreds of hours of interviews with key figures in modern music - including Pierre Boulez, John Cage, and Milton Babbitt - the author brings the personalities behind this dramatic musical revolution to life. Then, based on her own expertise and her discussions with rising stars such as Anthony Cornicello and Augusta Read Thomas, she offers her thoughts and predictions about the future of serious music. |
