Maja Trochimczyk teaches at the University of Southern California.
"Trochimzyck's efforts show a keen sense of the richness that
Andriessen's music offers to scholars and critics in its integrity,
complexity, depth and paradox. Her book succeeds in raising
important themes and, at the same time, presents challenges to its
readers. One of the greatest involves the question of its genre,
and, by extension, its intended use." -- Iotes
"Louis Andriessen has reached the level of seniority in European
contemporary music at which a written study of his achievement
ought to be available...Maja Trochimczyk's volume is the first to
appear in English. From that point of view alone it's an invaluable
source of documentation." -- Music Magazine, January 1, 2003
