Winner of the 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism A New York Times Book Review Top Ten Book of the Year Time magazine Top Ten Nonfiction Book of 2007 Newsweek Favorite Books of 2007 A Washington Post Book World Best Book of 2007 In this sweeping and dramatic narrative, Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker, weaves together the histories of the twentieth century and its music, from Vienna before the First World War to Paris in the twenties; from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia to downtown New York in the sixties and seventies up to the present. Taking readers into the labyrinth of modern style, Ross draws revelatory connections between the century's most influential composers and the wider culture. The Rest Is Noise is an astonishing history of the twentieth century as told through its music.
Godfrey Sceats, 1888-1966, was an amateur musician (organist, composer) and by profession a linguist proficient in German, French and Spanish. He first heard Karg-Elert's music around 1910 when several accomplished Englishmen were starting to take note of it with enthusiasm. Many of the letters are published side by side, in German and English, and a comprehensive appendix completes the volume.
