Brian Ferneyhouh est l'une des personnalités les plus importantes et les plus fascinantes de la musique actuelle ; c'est aussi l'une des plus difficiles à cerner. Ses œuvres, qui furent révélées vers la fin des années soixante, ne renoncent ni à une expressivité que l'on pourrait presque qualifier de romantique, ni à la complexité d'une élaboration rigoureuse. Elles se situent au-delà des problématiques des années cinquante et soixante, que Ferneyhough a su parfaitement intégrer, tout en s'opposant radicalement aux tendances restauratrices des années soixante-dix. Dans ce volume, Brian Ferneyhough retrace sa propre évolution, commentant chacune de ses œuvres, et s'explique sur leur signification profonde, notamment sur leurs déterminations et leurs implications extra-musicales ; il parle de sa manière de travailler, de la fonction de sa notation, du rôle des interprètes... et il analyse deux de ses œuvres. Différents auteurs posent sur sa musique un regard critique, musicographique, philosophique, ou analytique. Brian Ferneyhough est né à Coventry en 1943. Il y a fait ses études de musique, puis a suivi les cours de composition de Lennox Berkeley à Londres (1964-1967), Ton de Leeuw à Amsterdam (1 968-1 969) et Klaus Huber à Baie (1969). Il a enseigné la composition à Freiburg-im-Breisgau de 1 973 à 1986, ainsi qu'à Darmstadt (cours d'été depuis 1976) et Milan (depuis 1984) ; il a fait de nombreuses lectures, notamment à Helsinki, Glasgow, Arezzo et Dartington. Il travaille aujourd'hui à San Diego en Californie. Parmi ses oeuvres les plus importantes, on compte trois Quatuors à cordes, Transit, le cycle des Carceri d'invenzione, la pièce d'orchestre La Terre est un Homme, et la série des Time and Motion Studies.

What an achievement! It is a major work. The letters taken together with the excellent introductory sections - so balanced and judicious and informative - what emerges is an amazing picture of William Sharp the man and the writer which explores just how fascinating a figure he is. Clearly a major reassessment is due and this book could make it happen.--Andrew Hook, Emeritus Bradley Professor of English and American Literature, Glasgow UniversityWilliam Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade "Fiona Macleod" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.Sharp wrote "I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp's own correspondence - a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith - and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp's intriguing "second self".With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity. [Elib].
