A film by Larry Weinstein
For 50 years John Weinzweig has fought on all fronts for the
cause of New Music. Throughout he has maintained the dry and often
acerbic wit that sustains his music. While being an intimate
portrait of a composer, this film is also the universal story of a
visionary's struggle against a conformist world. It is also an
entertaining inside view of the compositional process and serves
to demystify the unfamiliar sounds of modern classical music.
Awards: Gold Apple, National Educational Film & Video Festival

- "Intimate look at a talented nonconformist who remains witty
and vital... gives insight into modern music and the art of
composition." Booklist
- "An excellent addition to any library's collection... a view of
what it is like to be a serious artist and to survive in an often
under-appreciated field." **** Video Rating Guide for Libraries
