Serial music was one of the most important aesthetic movements to emerge in post-war Europe, but its uncompromising music and modernist aesthetic has often been misunderstood. This book analyses the writings of important serialists like Stockhausen, Pousseur and Eimert and places them in a wider cultural, musicological and aesthetic context.
