This volume traces the development of classical music from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. Peyser (author of six books on music, and editor of musical publications) offers a guided tour of the sense behind the sound and an analysis of major musical trends. Drawing upon insights gained from interviews with key figures from the past as well as with rising stars, the author illuminates this dramatic musical evolution and offers her thoughts and predictions about the future of serious music. Contains several b&w photographs of conductors and composers, and an introduction by composer Charles Wuorinen. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
