0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sensible and soulfulBy A.P. BilReading a few excerpts of McClarys book helped me greatly to understand the music of DAnglebert. I needed her explanations of the "stasis" in his famous "Tombeau de Chambonniegrave;res" to further my composition of a harpsichord piece "Tombeau de M. Berio". McClarys book is well-written and well-structured and her way of reasoning; combined with feeling is both sensible and soulful.
