| Abstract | Harrison Birtwistle has become the most eminent and acclaimed of contemporary British composers. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of his large and varied output. It contains descriptions of every published work, and also of a number of withdrawn and unpublished pieces. Revealing light is often cast on the more familiar pieces by considering these lesser-known areas of Birtwistle's oeuvre. |
