A world-renowned composer of symphonies, operas, and film scores, Glass has, almost
single-handedly, crafted the dominant sound of late-twentieth-century classical music.
Here his behind-the-scenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments
of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. From his childhood in post-World
War II Baltimore to his student days in Chicago, at Julliard, and his first journey
to Paris, where he studied under the formidable Nadia Boulanger, Glass movingly recalls
his early mentors, while reconstructing the places that helped shape his artistic
consciousness ; The composer of symphonies, operas, and film scores examines his own
life and career
