Utopia, Innovation, Tradition: Bruno Maderna's Cosmos is the first collection of essays in English dedicated to one of the most multifaceted and interesting musical personalities of the 20th century: Bruno Maderna (1920–1973), a main protagonist in the development of new music after World War II.
The 15 essays cover the most important aspects of Bruno Maderna's peculiar compositional approach. Thanks to innovative methodological perspectives based mainly on the study of archival materials, they arrive at new and often completely unexpected interpretations. The book also contains a newly revised chronology of Maderna's own works and transcriptions of the works of others.
