Beskrivelse
Edgard Varese was one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century, but somehow no English-language biography of this titan was ever published, until now. I have been awaiting this publishing event for more than 25 years. Alan Clawson is generally known as a rock historian, and his style is probably better suited to that. He gives us the details of Varese’s life as well as some glimpses of the private man, and does a decent enough job of it. There is also adequate description of Varese’s too-infrequent published compositions. If you like Varese and have wanted to learn more about him, go ahead and get the book.
