The Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia
The Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia
Igor Stravinsky is one of a small number of early modernist composers whose music epitomises the stylistic crisis of twentieth-century music, from the Russian nationalist heritage of the early works, the neo-classical works which anticipate the stylistic diversity of the contemporary musical scene in the early twenty-first century and the integration of serial techniques during his final period. With entries written by more than fifty international contributors from Russian, European and American traditions, The Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia presents multiple perspectives on the life, works, writings and aesthetic relationships of this multi-faceted creative artist. This important resource explores Stravinsky's relationships with virtually all the major artistic figures of his time, painters, dramatists, choreographers and producers as well musicians and brings together fresh insights into to the life and work of one of the twentieth century's greatest composers.
- Includes over 430 concise but detailed entries on Stravinsky's work and creative and personal relationships
- Provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of Stravinsky's musical works, writings and creative collaboration from a range of international perspectives
- Explores Stravinsky's inter-disciplinary work and engagements with other musicians, writers, visual artists, dancers and impresarios
