Serial Music, Serial Aesthetics: Compositional Theory in Post-War Europe - Music in the Twentieth Century
M. J. Grant
Serial music was one of the most important aesthetic movements to emerge in post-war Europe, but its uncompromising music and modernist aesthetic has often been misunderstood. This book analyses the writings of important serialists like Stockhausen, Pousseur and Eimert and places them in a wider cultural, musicological and aesthetic context.
