520 1 $a"In essays and public addresses spanning fifty years, Milton Babbitt has grappled profoundly with central questions in the composition and apprehension of music. These writings range from personal memoirs and critical reviews to closely reasoned metatheoretical speculations and technical exegesis. In the history of music theory, only a small handful of figures have produced work of comparable stature. Babbitt's writings are not only an invaluable testimony to his thinking - a priceless primary source for the intellectual and cultural history of the second half of the twentieth century - but also a remarkable achievement in their own right." "This volume of almost fifty pieces gathers, corrects, and annotates virtually everything of significance that Babbitt has written. The result is complete, authoritative, and fully accessible - the definitive source of Babbitt's influential ideas."--BOOK JACKET.
