The 30 lively and diverse essays brought together in this volume--all drawn from the journal PERSPECTIVE OF NEW MUSIC--suggest possible answers to the age-old question: Why does music affect us so strongly? The writers include many of the most prominent names in both modern music and aesthetic theory, including Pierre Boulez, John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Eric Gans, Michel Foucault, and Delmore Schwartz.
