[+] Rochberg, George. "Metamorphosis of a 20th-Century Composer." Music Journal (March 1976): 12.
In a brief interview, George Rochberg discusses his move away from serial techniques in the 1960s in hopes to create a more evenly mixed tonal/atonal tradition. With pieces like Music for Magic Theater, he relied upon the music of his peers as the foundation of the piece. His String Quartet No. 3, however, only evokes the music of past composers through the harmonic and motivic movement, which is interspersed between atonal sections of music.
