Music Inside Out Going Too Far in Musical Essays

John Rahn's prolific activities as a composer-theorist-teacher, inventor of computer sound-synthesis software, editor of Perspectives of New Music during the 1980s and 90s, and author of an exemplary text on atonal theory are conspicuously in the foreground of the academic music-intellectual world.This collection of some of his most outstanding, ground-breaking, essays charts Rahn's progression from the construal of music's data structures to the articulation of its experimental structures. This book shows his remarkable intellectual evolution, culminating in the recognition that the pressure bearing on discourse can only be contained by thought formulated in the non-referential language of the arts themselves.Rahn, John is the author of 'Music Inside Out Going Too Far in Musical Essays' with ISBN 9789057013324 and ISBN 9057013320.
