"Удивительно!": Жизнь и музыка Эллиота Вайсгарбера

Part biography, part memoir,“Marvellous!” is the story of Elliot Weisgarber, a vibrant, 20th-century composer, clarinetist and educator, known best for his pioneering inquiries into Japanese music. Born in New England eight miles from Tanglewood and trained at the Eastman School of Music, he forged – in the midst of profound personal crisis – a unique style, melding his rich foundation in European musical tradition with the austere Buddhist-based art of the shakuhachi,the Japanese vertical bamboo flute. A devotee of the natural world and an inveterate traveller, his exuberant career – from the Deep South to Vancouver, B.C. – takes the reader around the globe as well as into the inner psyche of a creative artist. “Marvellous!” is how Weisgarber saw the world. This book is about his marvellous life!
