"Aditus (approach, access, entrance, beginning, chance) is a 9-minute concert opener based on the gradually lengthening chromatic scale. This is mixed with another row: 1112336332. The starting impulse is given by brass and tubular bells but the elastic resistance of the floating string chord will ground it three times before the active rhythm will break through. The rhythmic section grows to the climax by using multitonal harmonies and the end is an illuminative dispersion." (Erkki-Sven Tuur)

These are just a few of the composers whose most adventurous scores are now available to purchase through the Peters Contemporary Library. A new global initiative of the Edition Peters Group, the Peters Contemporary Library is a project designed to put these bold 20th- and 21st-century works, once available only for rental, into the collections of libraries, performers, scholars, and conductors alike.
Kicked off in 2016, the Peters Contemporary Library already contains many cutting-edge works and is constantly expanding. We are proud to offer these bold new scores for sale, for the first time ever, to modern musicians and students of music all around the world.
