Letters to A Young Composer: The Four-Year Email Correspondence Between a Young Composer and Her Mentor
2023 1-4955-1175-8
This book ..."is a collection of emails exchanged over a four-year period between composer Eric Funk and his composition student Athena Carson. We chose the title in response to Rainer Maria Rilke's powerfully moving book Letters to a Young Poet. The difference between his book and ours is that our book includes both people in the dialog, not just the the author's replies. As with Rilke's text, we hope that our readers will include everyone interested in creativity. It's not just for composers, as Rilke's book is not solely for poets." -Eric Funk (Foreword)
