Summary

Elisabeth Lutyens and Edward Clark’s work and lives in music have been subject to strong opinions. This Introduction’s epigraph contains two examples and another couple of crucial judgements appeared in a major book on music of their time, Francis Routh’s Contemporary Music in Britain of 1972. Edward Clark is there portrayed as ‘an enlightened champion of contemporary music through the medium of radio performances’, while Lutyens is an ‘English derivative […]’ of Schoenberg and Webern; at best, she is ‘[p]rominent among those who have worked within the Schoenberg tradition’.3
