The Modern Composer and His World by John Beckwith
Requirements: .PDF reader, 9.4 Mb
Overview: This unusual book is a report from the International Conference of Composers held at the Stratford Festival, Stratford, Canada, in the late summer of 1960. The conference itself was a daring idea and brought together a varied group of leading composers officially representing a large number of countries. The composers attending work in a variety of styles, traditional and new, and the papers and discussions reported in this book thus give a fascinating opportunity to the reader to overhear their agreements and disagreements about such lively topics as the modern composer’s relation to the musical audience, the appropriate training for the musical student of today, the composer and the performer and contemporary musical idioms: serialism, jazz, electronic music.
