Elliott Carter, the
American composer whose kaleidoscopic, rigorously organized works established
him as one of the most important and enduring voices in contemporary music,
died on Monday in Manhattan.
He was 103 and had continued to compose into his 11th decade, completing his
last piece in August.
His death was
announced by Virgil Blackwell, his personal assistant. Mr. Carter died in his
Greenwich Village apartment, which he and his wife bought in 1945 and where he
had lived ever since.
Mr. Carter’s music,
which brought him dozens of awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, could seem
harmonically brash and melodically sharp-edged on the first hearing, but it
often yielded drama and lyricism on better acquaintance. And though complexity
and structural logic were hallmarks of his works, the music he composed in the
decade leading up to his widely celebrated centenary, in 2008, was often more
lyrical, if not necessarily softer at the edges.
Elliott Carter.
Allegro scorrevole.
