Description

In Experiencing Stravinsky, music historian Robin Maconie takes a completely fresh approach to understanding the great composer’s works, explaining what makes Stravinsky’s “sound” unique and what we, as listeners, need to know in order to appreciate the variety and brilliance of his compositions. In the author’s deft hands, Stravinsky’s long musical career is a guided tour through 20th-century history, from Czarist Russia and two world wars to the height of the Hollywood era and the birth of the information age—and it is an operating manual to getting the most out of his music.
