MESSIAEN'S 'ABIME DES OISEAUX' Ex. III 1 Melody Rhythm WII e- , -21 AI 31 4 li A ' I -,mLj 6 H , - Part 1, that certain intervallic groups occur several times. The recurrence of these groups leads to a consideration of the actual pitch classes employed; there does not seem to be a full chromatic in use, and those pitch. The all-star group concept is rarely applied in music of the 20th century (or the 21st). It would seem uniquely ill-suited to Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour le fin du temps, 'The Quartet for the End of Time,' a work written in a German prisoners-of-war camp and dependent on a kind of mystical ecstasy that would seem to require players of long acquaintance to bring off.

Music Analysis is the international forum for the presentation of new writing focused on musical works and repertoires. Through articles of this kind and through its lively Critical Forum, it also aims to take forward debates concerning the relationship of technical commentary on music with music theory, critical theory, music history and the cognitive sciences. Founded in 1982, Music Analysis publishes major orientation articles by respected scholars such as Allen Forte, Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Arnold Whittall, Alan Street, Kevin Korsyn and Jonathan Dunsby. The journal has also featured translations of important articles by Adorno, Molino, Ratz, Ruwet and Schenker. Music Analysis is eclectic in its coverage of music from medieval to post-modern times, and has regular articles on non-western music. Its lively tone and focus on specific works makes it of interest to the general reader as well as the specialist. JSTOR provides a digital archive of the print version of Music Analysis. The electronic version of Music Analysis is available at http://www.interscience.wiley.com. Authorized users may be able to access the full text articles at this site.
