This piece takes its place as the authoriative statement on the subject./Paul Lawley/Irish Studies Review 6/3 Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung The importance of the viewing eye in Samuel Beckett's writing has been noted. Less attention has been paid to the place of sound and musicality. This collection of essays consists of two main sections, which analyze musical settings, and consider sound and music in the author's work.
