Benjamin Boretz
Benjamin Boretz is a twentieth- and twenty-first-century American music theorist and composer. A graduate of Princeton University, he is author of many articles and texts. Perhaps his most lasting theoretical influence has stemmed from his book Meta-Variations. Additionally, his text-piece "Language, as a Music" has been warmly received by composers and musicians outside of theoretical circles. Boretz is a co-founder, with Arthur Berger, of the scholarly music journal Perspectives of New Music and, in 1999, issued the first edition of the Open Space Magazine. Boretz taught music chiefly at Bard College, in New York, U.S., and was music critic for The Nation from 1962-68.
