The Rest is Noise

Written By: evan on May 7, 2009 No Comment

In this interview, Alex Ross talks about his 2007 book The Rest is Noise. The book treads familiar territory: 20th Century Music. Still, it is one of the few books that tackles the subject at a layperson’s level. His book is one of very few that attempt to make 20th Century music accessible to people without music degrees.

Ross also writes a blog called The Rest is Noise.
