Distinguished contributors from around the world consider specific composers who represent the most progressive musical thinking of their time and place. Editor Larry Sitsky, an Australian composer and teacher, has assembled an accessible and clearly written collection. Also exploring the links among this diverse group of composers, the guide offers a cross-index of names that should help the researcher formulate a cohesive view of the 20th-century avant-garde. A bibliography and list of selected works round out the volume, which succeeds in demystifying an area that, until now, has been the exclusive province only of the specialist.
