First edition, first printing. Original illustrated paper covered boards. Issued without dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Bumped to the upper spine, and with a small (c. 1 cm) scratch to the fore edge of the front panel. "Christopher Fox has emerged as one of the most fascinating composers of the post-war generation. His spirit of experimentalism pervades an oeuvre in which he has blithely created his own version of a range of contemporary musical practices. In his work many of the major expressions of European cultural activity - Darmstadt, Fluxus, spectralism, postminimalism and more - are assimilated to produce a voice which is uniquely resonant and multifaceted. In this, the first major study of his work, musicologists, composers, thinkers and practitioners [including Claudia Molitor, Roger Heaton, Philip Thomas, and Fox himself] scrutinize aspects of Christopher Fox's music, each exploring elements that relate to their own distinct areas of practice, tracing Fox's compositional trajectory and situating it within post-war contemporary European music practice. Above all this book addresses the question: How can one person dip his fingers into so many paint pots and yet retain a coherent compositional vision? The range of Fox's musical concerns make his work of interest to anyone who wants to study the development of so-called new music spanning the latter twentieth century into the twenty first century" (from the cover).
