"American composer John Zorn is arguably one of the most important composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of Zorn's concert works for keyboard from 1982 to 2019.

John Zorn is a prolific composer whose body of work includes a wide array of pieces that aim to resist traditional categories. Zorn's body of work is exceptionally diverse, and he has been actively involved in creating music since 1973. Until now, almost no scholarly studies have been published that focus on Zorn's musical output. This book aims to start the conversation on interpreting Zorn's work, focusing exclusively on Zorn's concert works for the keyboard from 1982-2019.

Beginning with ""Dead Ringer"" in 1982 and working his way chronologically to pieces arranged all the way up to 2019, author Andrew Santander presents John Zorn's work while making no attempt to classify Zorn under any one tradition. Santander's interpretations of Zorn's work aim to begin a discourse among those who both play and appreciate music.

This book will hold special appeal for musicians who are interested in learning more about Zorn's works for the keyboard, as well as anyone who enjoys listening to Zorn's music."
