520    In A Dance of Polar Opposites : The Continuing 
       Transformation of Our Musical Language, the renowned 
       American composer George Rochberg distilled a lifetime of 
       insights about Western music across some three hundred 
       years. Rochberg describes how the asymmetrical tonal 
       language of the late eighteenth century--the era of Haydn 
       and Mozart--evolved through the gradual incursion of 
       symmetry into a system based on the juxtaposition of tonal
       and atonal, asymmetrical and symmetrical--as seen in 
       notable composers such as Webern, Prokofiev, and Rochberg 
       himself. A Dance of Polar Opposites takes us inside the 
       composer's studio, reveals how he assessed his and our 
       musical past, and paints a picture of what he believed our
       musical future may be [Publisher description].
