Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 128 pages. Published in 1971. Collection of conversations. One of the best books on the ground-breaking art and achievement of Elliott Carter. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. NO other subsequent or new edition is indicated or available online. Most copies of the First Edition are now in Permanent University Collections. There is no ISBN. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Elliott Carter's and Allen Edwards' "Flawed Words And Stubborn Sounds: A Conversation With Elliott Carter". Transcribed in an engaging and accessible way by Allen Edwards. Carter's critical influences were Ives, Varese, Scriabin, Stravinsky, and the Second Vienna School. He studied and learned from them in order to find his own style and voice. The decisive innovation by Carter is "metric modulation", that is to say, writing multiple lines in vastly different tempos for different instrumental groups simultaneously. Carter emphasizes that this technique is by no means original on his part, and may be found to some degree in various musical traditions, Charles Ives being an exemplary American model. But it is undeniably developed to definitive and powerful effect in Elliott Carter's work. The Conversation also discusses, unpretentiously, his rarefied upbringing: Intense "culture trips" to Europe, Harvard, the Greek classics, even the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, whose ideas he discusses in the book as if he were himself a philosopher-student. And of course, he lived in Paris to study advanced composition with Nadia Boulanger, the greatest music teacher of the 20th century. "I must say that the one issue that I am concerned with, unlike most of my colleagues since the War, is making the flow of music be the most important thing. Music is the only world in which you can really manipulate the flow of time in a free way. The only concern of most composers today is with block-like, terribly simplified structures of time" (Elliott Carter). The latter criticism is an unmistakable swipe at Igor Stravinsky in particular. An absolute "must-have" title for Elliott Carter collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by Elliott Carter. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. His specimen-signature on this copy is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. It is also signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by one of the most important choral conductors of our time: "David Wordsworth, London, Feb, '91". This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in fine condition overall: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest composers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ELLIOTT CARTER TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author.…
