More about the book
Olivier Messiaen, the influential French composer, remains a largely enigmatic figure despite his extensive body of work and teachings. Most insights into his life and music come from his lectures and a comprehensive seven-volume treatise, yet these sources often obscure the deeper motivations and complexities behind his compositions. Additionally, Messiaen's private life was marked by a similar reticence, leaving many aspects of his personal and artistic journey still to be explored and understood.
