Summary:	"One of the principal architects of 20th-century thought, Edgard Varese remains the most original and adventurous of modern-day classical composers." "Amid the huge leaps forward in the modern sciences taken at the turn of the century, Varese headed the vanguard of intellectual thinking that helped to shape the modern world. With a revered following of such contemporary musical luminaries as Igor Stravinsky, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Charlie Parker and Frank Zappa, he was a key artistic influence in the last century. His most renowned opus, Ionisation, was described in the New York Times as a t̀errible and marvellous work', while Deserts caused as much uproar at its 1954 premiere as Le Sacre Du Printemps had in the same Paris theatre half a century earlier."--Jacket.
