During his spectacular career, Igor Stravinsky underplayed his Russian past in favor of a European cosmopolitanism. Richard Taruskin has refused to take the composer at his word. In this long-awaited study, he defines Stravinsky's relationship to the musical & artistic traditions of his native land & gives us a dramatically new picture of one of the major figures in the history of music. Taruskin draws directly on newly accessible archives & on a wealth of Russian documents. In VOLUME I, he sets the historical scene: the St. Petersburg musical press, the arts journals, & the writings of anthropologists, folklorists, philosophers, & poets. VOLUME II addresses the masterpieces of Stravinsky's early maturity: "Petrushka", "The Rite of Spring" & "Les Noces". Taruskin investigates the composer's collaborations w/ Diaghilev to illuminate the relationship between folklore & modernity. He elucidates the "Silver Age" ideal of "neonationalism"?the professional appropriation of motifs & style characteristics from folk art?& how Stravinsky realized this ideal in his music. Taruskin demonstrates how Stravinsky achieved his modernist technique by combining what was most characteristically Russian in his musical training w/ stylistic elements abstracted from Russian folklore. The stylistic synthesis thus achieved formed Stravinsky as a composer for life, whatever the aesthetic allegiances he later professed. Written w/ Taruskin's characteristic mixture of in-depth research & stylistic verve, this book will be mandatory reading for all those seriously interested in the life and work of Stravinsky. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Taruskin's vast & DETAILED knowledge of Russian culture, music, & traditions provides an unparalleled background for this MONUMENTAL study. Pre-Taruskin studies, excellent as some of them are, left us w/ a confused, mystifying, & disturbing picture. Here, for the first time, the separation between historical musicology & analytical theory is eliminated, so that we can see not only how Stravinsky's music works but also where it comes from . . . Taruskin let's us see Stravinsky in a global context, as we would a continent form the space shuttle--but he also gives us a microscopic view of deatils that is nothing less than Proustian in its nuances & shadings. A simply incredible achievement." -George Perle, author of "The Listening Composer". "What Fernand Braudel did for the Mediterranean, Richard Taruskin has done for Stravinsky's Russian Period."- David Schiff, author of "The Music of Elliot Carter". "To my knowledge, no previous book has situated music--music subtly described & understood, within such a richly embroidered fabric of cultural & intellectual history. An ENGAGING, COMPELLING, LANDMARK study , ." -Joseph Horowitz, authro of "WagnerNights: An Aeric* SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee of $16.00 fee & to international destinations via Mandatory USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY AIRMAIL at below-cost rates available upon request.
