About the Author
Born in London, Matthew Brown studied at the Royal College of Music Preparatory Division and later at King's College London. He pursued a Ph.D. in musicology at Cornell University. From 1983-1986 he was a junior fellow at Harvard University. Since then, he has taught musicology at the Eastman School of Music and theory at Louisiana State University. He has served on the council of the American Musicological Society and the executive board of the Society for Music Theory. He is currently Associate Professor of Music Theory at the Eastman School of Music.
Review
"Brown's insights into Iberia prove highly illuminating; his book is lucidly written and extremely generous with examples and documentation. It helps to have a score at hand but even the most involved parts of the analysis flow easily, and one need not be either a specialist in Schenker or sketch studies to follow it...in the end the true importance of this book lies in the narrower but brighter light it sheds on Iberia. All those interested in that work and in Debussy's 'new manner' in genereal will consult his findings with profit." --NOTES

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For well over a century musicologists have been fascinated by composers' manuscripts and by the insights they might reveal about the nature of musical composition.

Part 1 shows how we might understand the process of musical composition as a form of expert problem solving; it describes the compositional history of the work, the various intentional goals and historical constraints that guided Debussy's thinking, and some of the technical problems Debussy faced while composing this remarkable score.
