Long noted for his literary criticism, Richard Kostelanetz has for over two decades written intelligently about contemporary music in various veins. This book collects the best of those essays. Several deal at length with such avant-garde composers as Elliott Carter, Milton Babbitt and, especially, John Cage; others are profiles of musicians such as Glenn Gould, B.B. King and the author's uncle, Andre Kostelanetz.
