Articles

This is a list of offline articles that concern Philip Glass in some way or another, most of which are reviews. Most were taken from The Music Index.

The articles I have so far, with the exception of the pre-1988 articles, are arranged alphabetically by author. The articles with an unknown author are under "U". Within a single author, the articles are arranged chronologically.

I hope to gradually create "online" articles from this list, but with copyrights and what not, it might be a while.
