| Abstract | In this latest addition to the distinguished Norton series of books devoted to informed discussion of contemporary music, the editors have drawn upon articles originally published in Perspectives of New Music that deal with questions of modern notation and performance. Concerning an area in which absolute accuracy is completely out of the question--notation being a highly subjective and relative form of communication--the articles presented in this volume deal with various aspects of the composers' need to codify and record distinctions as well as the performers' interpretations of these distinctions. Both philosophic and practical matters come under scrutiny: for example, the implications of notation in general, and the problem of violin harmonics in particular. The list of authors who have contributed to this collection range from Gunther Schuller to Aloys Kontarsky and include some of the clearest thinkers and best writers in the field of new music. |
