Produktbeschreibung

Twentieth-Century Organ Music examines the organ's repertory from the entire period, contextualizing it against the background of such trends. In a collection of twelve essays, experienced scholars offer surveys of the dominant geographic centers: (Germany, France, the Low Countries, Scandinavia, the United States) and investigations of composers who have made especially noteworthy or influential contributions to the repertory (Reger in Germany, Messiaen in France, Ligeti in Eastern and Central Europe, Howells in Great Britain). Contextual essays significantly enrich the resulting picture.
