History & Criticism

Milton Babbitt, Arthur Berger, and Ross Lee Finney have, during long and distinguished careers, often commented upon the state of contemporary American music and have been unafraid to speak plainly about the dangers in an incresingly musically illiterate and commercialized society. Throughout the pages of "Musically Incorrect," their essential and uncompromising integrity and their disdain for the merely fashionable and expedient are abundanty manifest. Comprised of interviews with Babbitt (by Charles Wuorinen) and Berger (by Ross Bauer), and a moving memorial tribute to Finney (by Roger Reynolds), "Musically Incorrect" brings to a the reader the wisdom and insights of three of America's great musical citizens.
