The book is a wonderful exploration through the avant-garde, and it is great compelling nourishment for the composer to see the various graphic icons of someone's hand. Each work is reproduced in manuscript with the composer's submitted commentary.The composers included represent most the 20th century.Sample list of composers:Boulez CarterCardewRalph ShapeyStockhausenMilton BabbittChristian WolffFrederic RzewskiRoman Haubenstock RamatiBo NilssonLuigi NonoLuciano BerioDick HigginsNam June PaikDavid TudorAlison KnowlesGeorge BrechtGiuseppi CiardiPeter Maxwell DaviesJean-Claude EloyPierre SchafferLuc FerrariPierre HenryGeorge MaciunesJackson Maclow (poet not composer)Franco EvangelistiDieter SchnebelHenry CowellVirgil ThompsonBen JohnstonLou HarrisonSamuel AdlerEric Satie& many more
