What is The Musical Languages of Elliott Carter about?

As part of its celebration of Elliott Carters seventieth birthday, the Library of Congress invited Charles Rosen to perform the composers 1946 Piano Sonata, a work that marks a turning point in Carters compositional technique from a more accessible to a more complex and difficult idiom. Mr. Rosen delivered a lecture, extemporaneous and with many musical examples, before his performance, and then refined and expanded the material for this publication. The book includes a transcription of Mr. Rosen's interview with the composer, made for the BBC, and "A Guide to Elliott Carter Research Materials at the Library of Congress Music Division," by Morgan Cundiff.
