Aaron Copland Bücher
Aaron Copland galt jahrzehntelang als Amerikas führender Komponist, dessen Werke von Ballett und Orchestermusik bis hin zu Filmmusik reichten. Seine musikalische Entwicklung spiegelte wichtige Trends seiner Zeit wider, von frühen Experimenten mit Jazzrhythmen und Neoklassizismus bis hin zu einem vereinfachten Stil, der es ihm ermöglichte, ein breiteres Publikum über Radio und Film zu erreichen. In seiner späteren Karriere wandte sich Copland auch der Zwölftontechnik zu, wie seine Komposition zur Eröffnung des Lincoln Center zeigt. Nach 1970 hörte er auf zu komponieren, setzte aber seine Vortrags- und Dirigententätigkeit fort.
