BIGGS, H. / ORZEL, S.
Musically Incorrect: Conversations About Music at the
End of the 20th Century ............................................... CMB13
Milton Babbitt, Arthur Berger and Ross Lee Finney have, during
long and distinguished careers, often commented upon the state
of contemporary American music and have been unafraid to
speak plainly about the dangers it faces in an increasingly
musically illiterate and commercialized society. Throughout the
pages of MUSICALLY INCORRECT, their essential and
uncompromising integrity and their disdain for the merely
fashionable and expedient are abundantly manifest. MUSICALLY
INCORRECT brings to the reader the wisdom and insights of
three of America’s great musical citizens. Edited by Hayes Biggs
and Susan Orzel.
