Following the trajectory of Xenakis's compositional development, James Harley, who studied with Xenakis, presents the works together with clear explanations of the technical and conceptual innovations that shaped them. Harley examines the relationship between the composer and two early influences: Messiaen and Le Corbusier. Particular attention is paid to analyzing works which were vital to the composer's creative development, from early, unpublished works to the breakthrough pieces Metastasis and Pithoprakta, through the oft-discussed decade of formalization and the evolving styles of the succeeding three decades. 606 $aKnitting$vPatterns 615 0$aKnitting 676 $a746.432 700 $aHarley$b James$01262048 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476822803321 996 $aXenakis$92947588 997 $aUNINA
