Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-05 00:00:00 Cynthia McFadden This book covers minimalism in art, music, and sculpture. It's cited by many as an extremely important secondary source on minimalism. The section on music traces the development of minimalism chronologically, from LaMonte Young through Philip Glass, and discusses the influences of jazz, earlier classical music, and Indonesian music on minimalist composers.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-22 00:00:00 Justin Hartzog A poser and his navel gazing. Long paragraphs about how difficult his work has been. Than some more long paragraphs about what others have said on the chapter's theme. Than some more paragraphs. By the end of the chapter I found out I still don't know the answer. And than the same experience at the next chapter. And so on. A waste of paper for Strickland to exhibit his vast and useless knowledge.
