Keeping up with Carter
View through CrossRef
What next indeed! Since his 90th birthday in December 1998, Elliott Carter has turned out a stream of works that are as personal and inventive as ever – if not more so. In addition to significant miniatures for solo piano, solo violin and string quartet, Carter has written his first settings of Italian poems (Tempo e tempi), his first concerto grosso (Askö Concerto) and, most surprising of all, his first opera, What Next? with a libretto by Paul Griffiths. (And a Cello Concerto – for Yo-yo Ma – is well underway.)
