| Abstract | ii To my parents and Angela iii Today's composer, because of his problematical historical inheritance, has become totally isolated and self-absorbed. Those composers who have gained some measure of success through isolation and self-absorption will find that outside of the loft door the state of the composer in general and their state in particular is still as ineffectual as ever. The composer must become the total musician, not only a composer. To be only a composer is not enough. " The Composer as Weakling " iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank a number of people for the encouragement, assistance, and support needed for a project like this. Dealing with music from recent past, one cannot help but be particularly cognizant of the shoulders on which they are standing, and I am grateful for every one of them. Certainly this project, and perhaps no project, on Julius Eastman's music would be possible without the Herculean efforts of who were able to recover his music from the shambolic state in which he had left it.

Without their assistance both the text and the methodological framework would be far worse.
