The Creative Process in Music from Mozart to Kurtag
by Professor of Musicology William Kinderman
Great music arouses wonder: how did the composer create such an original work of art? What was the artist's inspiration, and how did that idea become a reality? Cultural products inevitably arise from a context, a submerged landscape that is often not easily accessible. To bring such things to light, studies of the creative process find their cutting edge by probing beyond the surface, opening new perspectives on the apparently familiar. In this intriguing study, William Kinderman opens the doo...

by Walter Simmons
William Schuman, Vincent Persichetti, and Peter Mennin were three of the most significant American composers of the 20th century; yet their music has largely disappeared from view since their respective deaths.

Listening (Contemporary Music Review)
The "Beethoven Syndrome" is the inclination of listeners to hear music as the projection of a composer's inner self. This was a radically new way of listening that emerged only after Beethoven's death. Beethoven's music was a catalyst for this change, but only in retrospect, for it was not until after his death that listeners began to hear composers in general-and not just Beethoven-in their works, particularly in their instrumental music. The Beethoven Syndrome: Hearing Music as Autobiography...
