As composer, conductor, and critic, his challenging views of modern developments are lent a special authority by his high standing as an interpreter of classic composers. \u003ci\u003eOrientations\u003c\/i\u003e will enhance his reputation as a lucid expositor of the modern composer's world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen writing about composing and analysis Boulez forges a new way of thinking about music. He is immensely illuminating about his own compositions. He offers special insight on composers with whom he has been particularly associated as a conductor--including Berlioz, Debussy, Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, and Messiaen. And he writes about performance and orchestras, tackling the question of how to make new music more familiar for the concert-goer. This rich and wide-ranging volume is truly a special resource for everyone wanting to learn more about twentieth-century music.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Collected here in some 500 pages, is perhaps the most comprehensive and provocative statement of an aesthetic position mustered by a musician since Schoenberg.' ---New Statesmen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 541\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 8.47 x 5.29 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42723496362047,"sku":"9780674643765","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5c78ea159dda392471a4df9ff0d71c36.webp?v=1765099355","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/orientations-collected-writings-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
