Rezensionen
'Cambridge University Press - and more specifically Victoria Cooper, the senior commissioning editor for music and theatre - is to be congratulated for formulating the idea of an 'Introduction to Music' series. Indeed, if Arnold Whittall's excellent Serialism is anything to go by - the first book in the series and in every respect its guiding light - then clearly we have much to look forward to in future publications ... it is Whittall's consummate skill as a writer and his considerable knowledge of the subject matter that ensures that this approach works as well as it does ... Serialism fulfils its role as an introductory text with great aplomb and rigorous academic integrity.' Musical Times
