Antheil and the Treatise on Harmony, With Supplementary Notes is an essential modernist text that bridges the gap between literary theory and musical innovation. Written by the renowned poet Ezra Pound, this work serves as both a manifesto and a technical exploration of the radical musical theories of George Antheil, a composer whose work defined the avant-garde spirit of the 1920s. Pound challenges traditional notions of vertical harmony, arguing instead for a revolutionary focus on rhythm and the temporal elements of composition.
In this treatise, Pound articulates a vision for a new music that is as precise and hard-edged as his own Imagist poetry. The book includes Pound's specific observations on Antheil's Ballet Mécanique and other works, alongside his Treatise on Harmony, which remains one of the most curious and brilliant examples of an artist from one discipline attempting to reorganize the foundations of another. The collection is further enriched by Supplementary Notes and reflections that contextualize the vibrant intellectual atmosphere of early twentieth-century modernism. This volume is a vital resource for anyone studying the history of the avant-garde, the intersection of music and literature, or the complex aesthetic philosophy of Ezra Pound.
