New York City, NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Date: 2007. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2007. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 625 pages. The author's breakthrough debut book. One of the most important books on classical music ever published in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Alex Ross' "The Rest Is Noise: Listening To The Twentieth Century". Still his very best book. "A whirlwind tour, from the Viennese premiere of Richard Strauss' 'Salome' in 1906 to Minimalist Steve Reich's downtown Manhattan apartment. The wide-ranging historical material is organized in thematic essays grounded in personalities and places, in a disarmingly comprehensive style. Thus, composers who led dramatic lives, such as Shostakovich's struggles under the Soviet Regime, make for gripping reading, but Ross treats each composer with equal gravitas. The real strength of this study, however, lies in his detailed musical analysis, teasing out, in precise but readily accessible language, the notes that link Leonard Bernstein's 'West Side Story' to Arnold Schoenberg's avant-garde compositions or hint at a ...
For John, With best wishes, Alex Ross 11/3/07.It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is John Wood, the poet, photography historian/critic, and music scholar, whose son, Daffyd, himself a writer/librettist, also inscribed a Christmas Greeting on top of the page to his Daddy. What is most remarkable, fascinating, and unique about this copy, however, is that John Wood himself wrote detailed commentary at the Back End Pages in his own hand, in what is, in effect, a draft of his critical appraisal of the book. John Wood is a very meticulous reader: None of the internal pages is marred, highlighted, or marked in any way. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, publication-year dated, and inscribed copy (with the recipient's own original notes) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online have serious flaws (because they were avidly read) or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2008. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ALEX ROSS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0374249393. 2007.

Second Printing. *** CONDITION: This book is in condition but dust jacket is not included. Previous owner's writing on several of the preliminary pages. Red pen underlining on some pages of text. The spine has a surface tear and sticker residue. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: The scandal over modern music has not died down. While paintings by Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock sell for a hundred million dollars or more, shocking musical works from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring onward still send ripples of unease through audiences. At the same time, the influence of modern music can be felt everywhere. Avant-garde sounds populate the soundtracks of Hollywood thrillers. Minimalist music has had a huge effect on rock, pop, and dance music from the Velvet Underground onward. Alex Ross, the brilliant music critic for The New Yorker, shines a bright light on this secret world, and shows how it has pervaded every corner of twentieth century life. The Rest Is Noise takes the reader inside the labyrinth of modern sound. It tells of maverick personalities who have resisted the cult of the classical past, struggled against the indifference of a wide public, and defied the will of dictators. Whether they have charmed audiences with the purest beauty or battered them with the purest noise, composers have ...
