Goehr Alexander (218 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dealing with the fundamental issues that face composers today, this collection of essays begins with a "Letter to Boulez" in which Alexander Goehr assesses his own progress away from the avant-garde of the 1950s. Goehr's account of the "Manchester School" of which he, Maxwell Davies and Birtwhistle were the protagonists, reveals what it was like to grow up musically in a world where modernism was considered almost a vice, and Messiaen's composition classes are described with loving detail. But Schoenberg and Stravinsky were, and are, at the heart of Goehr's musical concerns. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
