Review of Evan Jones, ed., Intimate Voices: The Twentieth CenturyString Quartet (Rochester University Press, 2009)

Kozak, Mariusz S.

This two-volume, 750-page tome, edited by Evan Jones, is a major contribution both to music analysis and to scholarship on the string quartet. It comprises essays by some of today’s leading theorists, each one taking on a single composer and closely examining his or her approach to the string quartet. As such, it is truly a scholarly tour de force, a monumental assembly--both in size and essence--of analytical and historical approaches to the genre.
