Pierre Boulez is arguably the most influential composer of the second half of the twentieth century. Here, Jonathan Goldman provides a fresh appraisal of the composer´s music, demonstrating how understanding the evolution of Boulez´s ideas on musical form is an important step towards evaluating his musical thought generally. The theme of form arising from a grammar of oppositions – the legacy of structuralism – serves as a common thread in Boulez´s output, and testifies to the constancy of Boulez´s thought over and above his several notable aesthetic and stylistic changes. This book lends a voice to the musical works by using the writings – particularly the mostly untranslated collected Collège de France lectures (1976–1995) – to comment on them. It also uses five musical works from the post-1975 period to exemplify concepts developed in Boulez´s writings, presenting a vivid portrait of Boulez´s extremely varied production.
