| Abstract | This book traces the power shift from the apprentice/conservatory system of training composers to the university system, which took place in the United States from 1925 to 1975. The author describes how this change influenced the works of three renowned American composers: Irwin Fischer, Ross Lee Finney, and George Crumb. |
