Hearing The Pulitzers

Episode 44 - 1986: George Perle, Wind Quintet IV

Listen Later

In this episode, Dave and Andrew discuss someone they know primarily as a music theorist. George Perle is celebrated for his theoretical work on twelve-tone theory and Alban Berg's music, but how does he stack up as a composer? And what do they think of the first woodwind quintet to win a Pulitzer?
