A Composer's World: Horizons and Limitations

(Schott). The book aims to be a guide through the little universe which is the working place of the man who writes music. As such it talks predominantly to the layman,although the expert composer may also find some stimulation in it... From the center of basic theory the discussion will spread out into all the realms of experience which border the technical aspects of composing, such as aesthetics, sociology, philosophy, and so on.
