Description

''...the book is kept admirably readable throughout, the authors' passion is for detailed evaluation of notational pioneering. This perhaps reflects Wolff's position today as something of a composer's composer, a status that has resulted in little writing on his work when compared to the amount of words expended on his more colourful contemporaries... this book serves as a neat little primer for his work.'' - Richard Pinnell, The Wire, November 2012 ''Presenting Christian Wolff as a quintessential American musical maverick, Michael Hicks and Christian Asplund compellingly argue that Wolff's stature will continue to grow as the historical dust settles. This book is beautifully written and aptly synthesizes discussions of specific works, details about Wolff's life, and the broader context within which he works.'' David W. Bernstein, author of The San Francisco Tape Music Center: 1960s Counterculture and the Avant-Garde
