Overview
Samuel Beckett, one of the century's most original playwrights and novelists, was also passionately interested in music. He once told a friend that all his work had been written for a voice. Samuel Beckett and Music is the first full-length work to deal exclusively with Beckett and music. This collection of essays, most written especially for the volume, brings together a number of leading composers and academics who analyze their response to Beckett's intense musicality.
