Boulez and Mallarme: A Study in Poetic Influence

By Mary Breatnach

This is a study of one of the most distinguished artistic encounters of our age. Through a study of an undisputed highpoint in post-war music, Boulez's Pli Selon Pli, the author demonstrates the importance of this relationship in the context of contemporary European culture and argues that the originality and significance of the piece itself are inseparable, not only from the poetry, but, more particularly, from the literary thinking which inspired it.
