摘要:
"The life of Roger Sessions, composer, writer, teacher of several generations of American composers and a commanding figure on the musical scene of his time, was as remarkable for its creative single-mindedness as for its apparent contradictions. Sessions spent years in painstakingly deliberate discovery of a musical craft that would provide, in his words, "the musical syntax of conscious emotion" he needed in order to realize the powerful musical images that informed all his works. With only a small, widely spaced output of compositions at the halfway point of his long life, he enjoyed the solid respect of his peers. An enormous harvest of masterful works to follow made his name something to conjure with when major musical organizations decided on commissions. But the musical establishment continued to enfold him in the kind of cordial embrace that keeps a man at arm's length. His music was considered too difficult for performers and audiences alike, and encountered durable, if intensely respectful, neglect."--BOOK JACKET.
