This book, first collection of essays in English on Bruno Maderna, brings the reader closer to one of the greatest European composer and conductor of the last century. Utopia, Innovation, Tradition: Bruno Maderna's cosmos is the first collection of essays in English dedicated to one of the most multifaceted and interesting musical personalities of the 20th century, a protagonist in the development of new music after World War II. The various essays cover the most important aspects of Bruno Maderna's peculiar compositional approach and, thanks to innovative methodological perspectives based mainly on the study of archival materials, arrive at new and often completely unexpected interpretations.
