Sinopsis

The most celebrated of Western composers in the twentieth century, Igor Stravinskymay have been theágreatest as well. Stretching across forty or so years, the essays in this volume address the dynamics of IgoráStravinskyâÇÖs music from a variety of analytical, critical, and aesthetic angles. Underscored are the features of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form that would remain consistently a part of StravinskyâÇÖs oeuvre regardless of the changes in orientation from the Russian period to the neoclassical and the early serial. The Rite of Spring (1913), Les Noces (1917-23), the Symphony of Psalms (1930), and the Symphony in Three Movements (1945) are discussed in detail, as are many of the circumstances attending their conception. Other concerns include the composerâÇÖs 'formalist' aesthetics and the strict performing style he pursued as an interpreter and conductor of his music.
