Description:"An excellent collection of essays, which makes an important contribution to the understanding of that perennially seminal focus for 20th-century music studies, Igor Stravinsky."--John Rahn, editor of Perspectives on Musical Aesthetics. Igor Stravinsky left behind masterpieces in every major genre & worked in each of the most significant compositional styles of the 20th century. His output was staggering, his innovations far-reaching & sometimes scandalous. Stravinsky Retrospectives puts the diverse achievements of this protean composer into critical & historical perspective. The contributors provide a variety of perspectives on Stravinsky's work & career. Richard Taruskin examines Stravinsky's use of text, its relation to Russian folk music & its consequences for his rhythmic practice.

Claudio Spies looks at the early Russian influences on Stravinsky, & William Austin provides a nuanced analysis of Stravinsky's historical importance & of recent research on his many compositions. The editors, Ethan Haimo & Paul Johnson, are professors of music at Notre Dame University.
