Elliott Carter, Josh Hartnett, Bon Jovi

Classical music tends to lionize the great composer cut down in youth, but Elliott Carter made a mockery of that trope, Daniel J. Wakin writes. Carter, the dean of American composers, celebrated his 100th birthday, on the precise day, with a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. He had a piece on the program, of course, but not some chestnut written when he was a student in Paris in the 1930s or an avant-gardist in New York in the 1950s or a Pulitzer Prize winner in the 1960s or a setter of American poetry in the 1970s or a begetter of chamber music and concertos in the 1980s. Just last year Carter wrote the 17-minute piece, for piano and orchestra. In fact, since he turned 90, Carter has poured out more than 40 published works, an extraordinary burst of creativity at a stage when most people would be making peace with mortality.
