Reviews
'Perhaps this collection of essays, and Michael Hicks's forthcoming monograph on Wolff, is a sign that Wolff scholarship is gaining a foothold in the musicological world. This collection is a strong resource for scholars wishing to take up the task.' Notes '[Changing the System is] particularly welcome: its nine contributors between them conspire successfully in providing both basic information on, and useful insights into, a generous selection of the composer's works.' Music and Letters 'Bearing in mind the interdisciplinary approach that enables a wide range of insight into the complex [...] issues of Wolff's activities [...] this book will be an important contribution to the study of contemporary musical practices.'
