Hardcover. Condizione: New. Between 1976 and 1995 the iconoclastic conductor and composer Pierre Boulez wrote a series of essays as the basis for annual lectures at the Collège de France. Now available in English for the first time, these texts show Boulez not only reflecting on the consequences of his earlier avant-garde experiments, such as total serialism, but also developing new areas of focus including thematic processes, large-scale form and psychoacoustic research.

Octavo; hardcover; 662pp. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Pierre Boulez was appointed to the College de France in 1976, with the chair devoted to 'Invention, technique and language in Music', and he held his position until 1995. The publication of his extraordinary College de France lectures, his most significant writings from the 1970s to the 1990s, will make a major contribution to the discussion in English about Boulez's aesthetic legacy. His goal in Lecons de musique is to express his conception of musical language, laid out over the course of nearly twenty years of lecturing. He is thinking about the possible paths musical thought could take, as well as the musical legacy of the past. 9780571334278.
