Few people know that Nadia Boulanger wrote, at various points in her career, many essays and critical reviews. These texts shed exceptional light on her thinking and reveal aspects of musical culture in Europe and America, seen from the rare vantage point of an internationally renowned artist.
Nadia Boulanger: Thoughts on Music offers a translation and critical edition of a selection of texts chosen for their quality and interest. The articles and essays that had already been published had never been reprinted since their original appearance; the other documents are presented to readers here for the first time.
The book thus makes this whole body of writing widely accessible and provides an important new resource for teaching and research on twentieth-century music, while offering the general public a fascinating collection of essays on music.
