Description

This comprehensive anthology of writings by composers on the art of music presents ninety composers from all Western countries, drawing on a variety of sources. Letters, diaries, essays, reviews, books, and, in some cases, recorded conversations have been consulted. All aspects of musical activity are covered. The historical forms of composition--opera, church music, symphonic, and chamber music--appear in many different lights and from many different approaches. This book is addressed to the general reader who is interested in music, and every selection is preceded by a brief commentary by the editor.
