Pierre Boulez's first piano pieces date from his youth, prior to his studies in Paris with Messiaen, and his subsequent meteoric rise to international acclaim as the leader of the musical avant-garde during the 1950s. His most recent published work is a solo piano piece, Une page d’éphéméride, written some sixty years after his first attempts at composition. The piano has remained central to Boulez's creative work throughout his career, and although his renown as a conductor has to some extent overshadowed his other achievements, it was as a performer of his own piano music that his practical gifts first found expression. Peter O'Hagan has given performances of various unpublished piano works by Boulez, including Antiphonie from the Third Sonata and Trois Psalmodies. In this study, he considers Boulez's writing for the piano in the context of the composer's stylistic evolution throughout the course of his development. Each of the principal works is considered in detail, not only on its own terms, but also as a stage in Boulez's ongoing quest to invent radical solutions to the renewal of musical language and to reinvigorate tradition. The volume includes reference to hitherto unpublished source material, which sheds light on his working methods and on the interrelationship between works.

Pierre Boulez is one of the most influential--and controversial--figures in the world of contemporary music. As composer, conductor, and critic, his challenging views of modern developments are lent a special authority by his high standing as an interpreter of classic composers. Orientations will enhance his reputation as a lucid expositor of the modern composer's world. When writing about composing and analysis Boulez forges a new way of thinking about music. He is immensely illuminating about his own compositions. He offers special insight on composers with whom he has been particularly associated as a conductor--including Berlioz, Debussy, Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, and Messiaen. And he writes about performance and orchestras, tackling the question of how to make new music more familiar for the concert-goer. This rich and wide-ranging volume is truly a special resource for everyone wanting to learn more about twentieth-century music.

Pierre Boulez (born 1925) is a major figure in French musical life, being not only the leading French composer of his generation, but also an outstanding conductor. He is also a prolific writer on music, and this is a translation of his first collection of essays, published in France in 1966. In these essays Boulez worked out many of his most significant ideas about music, and he sets forth his views with characteristic intellectual vigour and acuity. The essays are divided into four parts, the first three concerned with a common preoccupation (aesthetic, technical, polemical), thelast a collection of entries intended for a music encyclopaedia. Boulez writes mainly on the giants of twentieth-century music - Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Debussy, Messiaen, Ravel - and he offers penetrating and at times provocative analyses of some of their music and musical styles,such as neo-classicism and serialism. His illuminating comments arise from intimate knowledge of the music, and the resulting collection is an essential document of post-war modern music.

"Pierre Boulez was born a middle child to Léon and Marcelle Boulez on March 26, 1925 in Montbrison, a community not far from Saint-Étienne in the Loire valley of France. By today's faster standards, this put him a little over an hour from Lyon, about three hour's drive from Geneva, about five hours from Paris, and about seven from Baden-Baden-all future residences of Boulez during his formative period. Montbrison was predominately Catholic and relatively small: it probably had a population of about 7,000 during Boulez's childhood in the 1930s, while census statistics from 1968 begin at 11,213. By comparison, nearby Saint-Étienne had a census population of 223,223 in the same year, and Lyon stood at 527,800. While Montbrison was primarily agricultural, Boulez's father was an engineer. By the time Boulez turned five, the family owned a private home and a radio that occasionally broadcast orchestral music. The radio came from a business trip abroad to the United States, but the family also traveled frequently within France. Thus, while he was born into a smaller community some distance from cultural centers in France, Boulez's childhood foreshadowed the slow, growing circumference of his worldly presence"--

There can hardly be a doubt that Pierre Boulez is one of the greatest musicians born in this century, and in the range of his achievements, as composer, theorist, conductor and founder of ICRAM in Paris, quite unique. Ever since he burst suddenly on the world of contemporary music with such reckless vitality in his early twenties, he has not only constantly explored new territory but has brought to the writing of each individual work an ardent spirit of self-criticism that other distinguished composers of his generation have never quite rivalled. As a result, many of his works have shown a remarkable staying power. In the present symposium, this absorbing voyage of Boulez, from the revolutionary early pieces to the latest work in progress, Repons, is traces by Susan Bradshaw in a chapter - a book in itself, really - that is perhaps the most thorough and perceptive study of the subject yet undertaken. The other chapters include Peter Heyworth's biography, the first fifty years, which has lost none of its charm and dramatic impact since it first appeared in The New Yorker; and there is a stimulating study by Gerald Bennett of the early works, from hitherto unknown student essays to the revolutionary outburst just mentioned. Two shorter chapters deal with Boulez's crusade for 20th-century music as conductor at the BBC, and with his advancing of its frontiers at IRCAM, which sprang from his vision of bringing technology and creative activity together. Charles Rosen's characteristic insight is brought to bear on the piano music; and for readers who enjoy 'stretching their foreheads like concertinas' there is a scientific enquiry by Celestin Deliege into Boulez's setting of a poem by Mallarme. Altogether, this symposium gives the most compete impression yet to appear of a compser who has left 'a giant imprint on music in this second half of the century.'
