Arthur Cohn turns his attention to thirty composers of this century in Western Europe--defining this century as beginning where Debussy ends. The discussion is based on attentive study of their compositions that have been recorded. Mr. Cohn discusses each man’s aesthetic criteria and follows with critical essays on each composition. The second section of the book rates some 2000 recordings, with notations on instruments, performing organizations and artists, conductors, labels, comparisons when more than one recording of the same work exists.

Ton de Leeuw was a truly groundbreaking composer. As evidenced by his pioneering study of compositional methods that melded Eastern traditional music with Western musical theory, he had a profound understanding of the complex and often divisive history of twentieth-century music. Now his renowned chronicle Music of the Twentieth Century is offered here in a newly revised English-language edition. Music of the Twentieth Century goes beyond a historical survey with its lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles, and terminologies of twentieth-century music. De Leeuw draws on his experience as a composer, teacher, and music scholar of non-European music traditions, including Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese music, to examine how musical innovations that developed during the twentieth century transformed musical theory, composition, and scholarly thought around the globe.
