| | The String Quartets of Elliott Carter |
 | | The whole work is framed by a solo cadenza, played by the cello at the opening, and forming a goal for the ever more frantic music of the variations at the close, where it is played by the first violin. | | | Given the style of Carter's previous works, it might have come as a surprise to the Quartet's first audiences that its musical language is not at all superficially 'American', in spite of the quotations from Charles Ives' Second Violin Sonata (in the first movement) and Conlon Nancarrow's First Study for Player Piano (in the last). | | | Here Carter is composing against the traditions of the genre - each instrument has a unique group of intervals and a typical mode of musical behaviour, the quartet being concerned with varying degrees of relationship between the four parts. |

| | Elliott Carter at 95 by John Warnaby. |
| | Elliott Carter was born on 11 December, 1908 into a business family; and it was through the business community that he met and received an informal music education from Charles Ives. | | | Carter has been particularly prolific in the sphere of chamber music. | | | Carter created three of his most powerful orchestral works during the 1960s, beginning with the Double Concerto, for harpsichord, piano and chamber orchestra of 1961. |

| | Early Chamber Music of Elliott Carter |
| | This CD of Elliott Carter's adventurous early chamber music is designed to appeal to newcomers, as well as aficionados of this renowned contemporary American composer. | | | Carter's lyrical, aptly named Pastoral for clarinet and piano is reminiscent of Copland, and even Bernstein. | | | This is Carter before he became so overly-complex and serialized that few can stand listening to his music."

| | Elliott Carter, Composer |
| | Carter’s crowning achievement as an orchestral composer may be his 50-minute triptych Symphonia: sum fluxae pretium spei [ "I am the prize of flowing hope"], which received its first integral performance on April 25, 1998 with Oliver Knussen conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra as part of the ISCM World Music Days in Manchester. | | | New recordings of Carter’s music appear continually, making him one of the most frequently recorded contemporary composers. | | | In 1987 the Paul Sacher Foundation moved to acquire all Carter's musical manuscripts, to be permanently maintained in a public archive in Basel alongside similarly comprehensive deposits of the manuscripts of Stravinsky, Boulez, Bartók, Hindemith, Strauss and other universally acknowledged 20th-century masters. |

| | Sound judgment - Elliott Carter |
| | Carter's recent music bristles with inventiveness and vigor, sacrificing none of its legendary complexity, but radiating a warmth and directness of expression that should disarm detractors. | | | Conductor Oliver Knussen, a longtime Carter champion, leads the BBC Symphony in an exemplary performance, proving that that if you approach Carter's virtuosic scores with the care and nuance accorded Mozart, the music will speak with edifying clarity. | | | The new year may be just underway, but here is the first entry in the top 10 CDs for the year 2000. |

| | Classical Net Article - Charles Rosen on Elliott Carter |
| | It has been said that just as Schoenberg destroyed the sense of a unique harmonic center, so Carter has done away with the idea of a single rhythmic framework: in his music, time is no longer measured with a single yardstick or by a uniform beat. | | | Before this, however, his individuality had been revealed in the Piano Sonata of 1946 and the Sonata for Cello and Piano of 1948. | | | It is sometimes said that the recent works are more accessible than those of the Sixties: it is perhaps only that the public has gradually learned to listen to Carter's music as it has slowly become part of the vernacular. |

| | aworks :: "new" american classical music: carter, elliott |
| | A Reader: One might point also to the example of Elliott Carter, who has shaped a music of his own out of a wide knowledge of the music of our time. | | | Carter came up with an ingenious solution, organizing the 12-minute "Soundings'' so that piano and orchestra never played together. | | | Having listened closely to Carter's "Changes", for solo guitar this morning and now coincidentally tonight, minimalism's greatest achievement, Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians", albeit as background music, what's the verdict? |

| | Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Carter |
| | Three important vocal works between the years of 1975 and 1981 bring a level of "humanism" and a touch of lyricism back to Carter’s writing, though the overall techniques of composition remain very much in tact. | | | A Fourth String Quartet (1986), a Violin Concerto (1990), and Partita (1993), and a wide range of new, virtuosic pieces for small ensembles or unaccompanied solo instruments have solidified Carter’s monumental place in music history. | | | The Second String Quartet (1959) follows this style even further so that each of the four instrumental parts are distinctly independent from one another, each carrying its own "persona" made up of specific intervalic structures, textures, tempi, or articulations. |

| | While it may be a startling change for listeners accustomed to Carter's thorny post-tonal language, which he adopted from the late 1940s onward, these pieces still ring true as eloquent statements in the more conservative style. | | | The Piano Concerto was a watershed piece for Carter, featuring several elements of his mature style: metric modulations, interval stratification, innovative ensemble deployment and an interest in the dramatic narrative potential of the concerto form. | | | At long last, the Naxos American Classics series has released its first disc of music by composer Elliott Carter. |
