These previously unpublished lectures by Elliott Carter date to the summer of 1967, when the acclaimed composer taught at the Contemporary Music Workshop held by the University of Minnesota. Leading an introductory course on orchestra repertoire, Carter gave nine hours of lectures covering principal topics like how to live with the musical present and whether the symphony orchestra was a relic of the past or a possible active force for new music. But Carter's observations and prompts by audience questions broadened the discussion into areas ranging from electronic music to analyses of works by other artists and himself. Laura Emmery presents the complete text from each session alongside introductions, commentary, and annotated examples that provide valuable context for readers.
Expansive and essential, Elliott Carter Speaks opens up the artist's teaching and introspection to new contemporary perspectives on his thought and art.
Please note that the order and arrangement of materials in this book differs from that of Elliott Carter’s original lectures.
Elliott Carter (1908-2012) was an American composer, educator, and two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music. His many works include String Quartet No. 1 and Piano Concerto. Laura Emmery is an assistant professor of music theory at Emory University. She is the author of Compositional Process in Elliott Carter’s String Quartets: A Study in Sketches.
