About the Book

Stravinsky's work spanned the major part of the twentieth century and engaged with nearly all its principal compositional developments. This Companion reflects the breadth of Stravinsky's achievement and influence in essays by leading international scholars on a wide range of topics. It is divided into three parts dealing with 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 leading Dutch composer Louis Andriessen and a major re-evaluation of 'Stravinsky and Us' by Richard Taruskin.

About the Author :
Jonathan Cross is Reader in Musicology at the University of Bristol. He is author of The Stravinsky Legacy (Cambridge1998) and Harrison Birtwistle: Man, Mind, Music (2000), and is Editor of the journal Music Analysis.

Review :
'… well annotated and illustrated … it will provide a valuable guide for music students and scholars as well as for music lovers who have the desire and technical knowledge to engage more fully with a major phenomenon in modern music … Jonathan Cross's Companion deserves to be translated into Russian and published in the country where the heritage of one of its greatest composers seems to be still only partially appreciated.' Slavonic and East European Review
