Book Synopsis
Minimalism stands as the key representative of 1960s radicalism in art music histories - but always as a failed project. In The Names of Minimalism, Patrick Nickleson holds in buzzing tension collaborative composers in the period of their collaboration, as well as the musicological policing of authorship in the wake of their eventual disputes.
