The Amphion Foundation, Inc., is pleased to announce the publication of Elliott Carter Studies Online, volume 5. The new issue features papers by Peter Smucker on Carter pedagogy and by John Link on Carter’s last composition Epigrams (2012), both presented at the special session “Elliott Carter: 10 Years On,” at the 2022 Joint Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society, the Society for Ethnomusicology, and the Society for Music Theory. Also featured is a reprint of Hollis Thoms’s invaluable 2012 article on Carter’s years at St. John’s College (1940-42), along with four previously unpublished interviews with Carter by Jonathan Cott (1961), Yehudi Wyner (1975), Shulamit Ran (1994), and Steven Swartz (2004). And in this volume’s “Album Leaf,” John Link considers Carter’s early drafts of his solo flute piece Scrivo in Vento (1991).
