Elliott Carter, a renowned composer, delivered a series of previously unpublished lectures during the summer of 1967 at the Contemporary Music Workshop, held by the University of Minnesota. As the instructor of an introductory course on orchestra repertoire, Carter dedicated nine hours to delivering comprehensive lectures on various topics. These included exploring how to embrace the musical present and assessing whether the symphony orchestra remained a relic of the past or held the potential to be a dynamic force in the creation of new music. However, Carter's insights and responses to audience questions broadened the discourse to encompass a wide range of subjects, extending from electronic music to analyses of his own compositions and those of other artists.
Laura Emmery has meticulously presented the complete text from each session of Elliott Carter Speaks, accompanied by insightful introductions, commentary, and annotated examples that enrich the reader's understanding of the artist's teachings and artistic endeavors. This book offers a unique perspective on Carter's thought and art, shedding light on his intellectual journey and artistic development.
It is important to note that the order and arrangement of materials in this book differ from the original lectures delivered by Elliott Carter. This editorial decision was made to enhance the reading experience and provide a clearer context for the discussions presented.
