Charles Wuorinen: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)

Charles Wuorinen: A Bio-Bibliography is a chronicle, a lexicon, a manual, a narrative, and a testament to the life and work of an American musical genius. The work contains a biography, discography, interview, comprehensive listing of works and detailed roster of performances, and almost 1,200 annotated citations of writings about the music of this important composer. The oral history component--the interview--is the foundation of the book in that it expresses the composer's philosophy of music and of life and serves as a contrast to the many annotations featuring critical commentary on his music. No one even remotely connected with contemporary music and the arguments and discussions thereof should be without this book.Richard D Burbank is the author of 'Charles Wuorinen: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780313253997 and ISBN 0313253994.
