Summary: worthwhile
Comment: Milton Babbitt is the most intelligent and articulate of the serialist propagandists. He is very often dead wrong, but he is always worthwhile to read. His monographs published in "The Journal of Music Theory" and elsewhere have been very influential, but as far as I know they have never been collected in book form. This is a valuable compendium of his thought. The last lecture reprises the argument of his notorious "Who Cares If You Listen?" article. For a reprint of the original article and an apposite rebuttal, see "Music in the Western World: A History in Documents" edited by Piero Weiss and Richard F. Taruskin.

I also recommend (very much) PENTATONIC SCALES FOR THE JAZZ-ROCK KEYBOARDIST by Jeff Burns.
