註釋Elizabeth Swados writes about her subject from the inside out, that is, from the inner necessities to the formal, technical, and practical ones of creating music. In doing so, she often writes directly from her experience as a student, protégée, and hanger-on in the musical world as well as from her subsequent career as an unusually eclectic composer, along with its ancillary roles of conductor, director, teacher, and survivor. Along with its candor and savvy, Listening Out Loud is especially useful because of the specificity with which Swados takes the reader into the composition process of the various kinds of music she has written, exploring their sources and development and even their adaptation to performance conditions. At the same time she provides an ongoing account of the various ways a young composer can enter and find his own way, can earn a living and keep her faith, in the hectic and often treacherous fields of contemporary music. -- Publisher's description.
