{"product_id":"the-collected-essays-of-milton-babbitt-9780691155401","title":"The Collected Essays of Milton Babbitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike his compositions, Milton Babbitt's writings about music have exerted an extraordinary influence on postwar music and thinking about music. In essays and public addresses spanning fifty years, Babbitt has grappled profoundly with central questions in the composition and apprehension of music. These writings range from personal memoirs and critical reviews to closely reasoned metatheoretical speculations and technical exegesis. In the history of music theory, there has been only a small handful of figures who have produced work of comparable stature. Taken as a whole, Babbitt's writings are not only an invaluable testimony to his thinking--a priceless primary source for the intellectual and cultural history of the second half of the twentieth century--but also a remarkable achievement in their own right. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Prior to this collection, Babbitt's writings were scattered through a wide variety of journals, books, and magazines--many hard to find and some unavailable--and often contained typographical errors and editorial corruptions of various kinds. This volume of almost fifty pieces gathers, corrects, and annotates virtually everything of significance that Babbitt has written. The result is complete, authoritative, and fully accessible--the definitive source of Babbitt's influential ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Milton Babbitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691155401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMilton Babbitt\u003c\/b\u003e is William Shubael Conant Professor of Music Emeritus at Princeton University. \u003cb\u003eStephen Peles\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Music Theory and Composition at the University of Alabama School of Music. \u003cb\u003eStephen Dembski\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Music Composition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \u003cb\u003eAndrew Mead\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Music at the University of Michigan. \u003cb\u003eJoseph N.
