A Schnittke Reader
Schnittke, Alfred & Ivashkin, Alexander (ed)
Beskrivning:Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) studied and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was one of the most prolific composers of the twentieth century. Contents: I Schnittke speaks about himself; II Schnittke on the Lenin Prize; III Schnittke on his own compositions; IV Schnittke on creative artists; V Schnittke on twentieth-century music; VI Schnittke as seen by others. "I have read all of Alfred´s essays with enormous interest and enjoyment. To tell the truth, even though I was his friend, I did not know that he was capable of such careful and interesting analysis, that he had such a profound insight into the music of other composers, and that he found in it so many regular features that were hidden from others. It is splendid that Schnittke´s essays and ideas on music are finally being published." (From the foreword by Mstislav Rostropovich)
