Masterworks of 20th-Century Music
The Modern Repertory of the Symphony Orchestra
Introduction
"Masterworks of 20th-Century Music" introduces more than one hundred of the greatest compositions by a world-renowned composer that have entered the standard orchestral repertory. The author surveyed dozens of major American orchestras to focus on those works that an average audience member is most likely to hear. Concertgoers who are intimidated by the modern repertoire finally have a single resource that will help them understand and enjoy it. Like an educated guide, he walks the listener through the piece, explaining how all the elements come together to form a unified whole. This book serves the general reader interested in 20th-century music, plus students, teachers, and scholars.
