About this ebook
"Canadian-Argentinian pianist and composer Alcides Lanza is internationally renowned for his avant-garde approach to percussion, electroacoustics, and music theatre in works such as cidesis II, sensors III, un mundo imaginario, and voo. In the first full-length biography of one of Canada's most gifted and influential composers, Pamela Jones draws on extensive interviews with performers, students, friends, and family members. She analyses Lanza's key compositions and discusses his musical development through a vivid portrayal of the social, cultural, and political milieus in which he worked - from the difficulties of composing under a repressive Argentinan government in the late 1950s to the "anything goes" atmosphere of New York in the 1960s, the post-war cultural revival in Berlin, and the multicultural diversity of Montreal." "Alcides Lanza is an important and insightful commentary on contemporary music in the second half of the twentieth century." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
