Aaron Copland Libri
Aaron Copland fu considerato per decenni il principale compositore americano, con opere che spaziavano dal balletto e dalla musica orchestrale alle colonne sonore cinematografiche. Il suo sviluppo musicale rispecchiò le tendenze chiave del suo tempo, passando dalle prime esplorazioni dei ritmi jazz e del neoclassicismo a uno stile semplificato che gli permise di entrare in contatto con un pubblico più vasto tramite radio e cinema. Nella sua carriera successiva, Copland adottò anche tecniche dodecafoniche, come dimostra la sua composizione per l'inaugurazione del Lincoln Center. Dopo il 1970, cessò di comporre ma continuò a tenere conferenze e a dirigere.
