Finally, the book that Arvo Part and his landmark composition deserve. Karnes is an ideal guide: meticulous yet engaging. Avoiding the usual romantic flim-flammery, he puts Tabula Rasa in the context of the heady 1980s when it first broke onto the international stage thanks to Part's many eager advocates. New insights and details appear on every page, helping us hear the composition anew. -Peter Schmelz, author of Such Freedom if Only Musical: Unofficial Soviet Music during the Thaw
