Music of Elliott Carter

Arguably the most important American composer of the century, Elliott Carter often has been more highly regarded in Europe than in his native land. Interest in his work has grown rapidly in recent years, however, and the celebration of his ninetieth birthday in December, 1998, accompanied by numerous performances and new recordings, undoubtedly will increase the attention of his fellow citizens to this remarkable figure.Schiff, David is the author of 'Music of Elliott Carter', published 1983 under ISBN 9780903873062 and ISBN 0903873060.
