Arvo Pärt's Tabula rasa

One of today's most widely acclaimed composers, Arvo Pärt transformed the soundscape of the Cold War West with Tabula Rasa in1977. In the first book dedicated to this pathbreaking composition, author Kevin C. Karnes traces the story of Tabula Rasa from Pärt's discovery of his signature tintinnabuli sound amidst his experiments with the music of the Western and Soviet avant-gardes, through a quarter-century that saw momentous transitions in European culture, politics, history, and memory." -- Back cover.
