VG/VG unmarked copy dustjacket unclipped. This book will appeal both to the musically-literate reader and to the record collector interested in modern music. The writing is lively and unacademic, and the author"s use of vivid metaphor and poetic insights, lifts the music right off the page and brings it to life. Composer and music theorist Wilfrid Mellers enlightens aspects of c20th music; studies of Wagner, Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Berio, Debussy, Cage, Varese, etc, are interwoven with formal/philosophical themes such as the dichotomy between "western" Incarnation, and "eastern" Revelation; includes a "Glossary Of Terms" particular to modern music.
