The Cambridge Companion to Stravinsky

Stravinsky''s work spanned the major part of the twentieth-century and was engaged with nearly all its principal compositional developments. Reflecting the breadth of his phenomenal achievement this Companion contains a wide range of essays in three broad sections covering the contexts within which Stravinsky worked--Russian modernist and compositional with his key compositions--Russian neoclassical and serial and with the reception of his ideas--through performance analysis and criticism. The volume concludes with an interview with the composer Louis Andriessen and a major re-evaluation of Stravinsky and us by Richard Taruskin.
