Synopsis
Sir William Glock, the respected Controller of Music at the BBC from 1959 to 1973 as well as founder of the Summer School of Music, has been one of the strongest influences on musical life and taste in Britain this century, and is especially known as a champion of contemporary music. This book examines musical life in Britain and abroad since the 1920s, written within an autobiographical structure. Many great musical figures appear from Stravinsky to Boulez. The book also touches upon fundamental questions of interpretation and composition, policy and public appreciation, and the outlook for music in the future. This book will be of special interest for those involved professionally in classical music as well as those in the general public who are music enthusiasts.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition. Dust jacket in near fine condition not faded, minimal bumping to the edges, some slight discolouration to the inside flaps. Book in very good condition, has spine lean, some slight foxing to the text block, some bumping to the edges, has some pencil marks on the end papers and title page, page has pulled away slightly from the binding on the half title page. Sir William Glock has been one of the strongest influences on musical life and taste in Britain this century, and is especially known as a champion of contemporary music. A student of the piano under Arthur Schnabel in the Berlin of the 1930s, Glock founded the Summer School of Music, which achieved an international reputation for the quality of its teaching of composition and performance. From 1959 to 1973 he was Controller of Music at the BBC, where he initiated the Invitation Concerts, introduced adventurous programmes into the Proms, and was responsible for the controversial appointment of Pierre Boulez as chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Considering fundamental questions of composition and interpretation, public appreciation, and the future of music, Glock's revealing autobiography also recalls his relationships with such significant composers as Stravinsky, Britten, Maxwell Davies, and Birtwistle.
