No references found | Compiled by Bob Gilmore (musicology, Dartington College of Arts, UK), the writings cover a period of about 40 years and include papers, treatises, program notes, lectures, interview excerpts, and letters, and address such topics as theory, microtonality, aesthetics and culture, the music of composers such as John Cage, Harry Partch, and Lamonte Young, and his own compositions. With scarcely a pause to catch their breath, the Clevelanders traveled from 19th-century Heidelberg to the dreamlike, sometimes nightmarish world of Chen Yi, who combines a deep knowledge of Chinese folk music (learned while she endured two years of forced labor during China’s Cultural Revolution) with an almost frighteningly sophisticated command of Western microtonality.
