Description: This volume brings together analyses of works by thirteen Russian composers from across the twentieth century showing how their approaches to tonality modernism and serialism forge forward - looking paths independent from their Western counterparts. Russian music of this era is widely performed and much research has situated this repertoire in its historical and social context yet few analytical studies have explored the technical aspects of these composers styles. With a set of representative analyses by leading scholars in music theory and analysis this book for the first time identifies large - scale compositional trends in Russian music since 1900. The chapters progress by compositional style through the century and each addresses a single work by a different composer covering pieces by Rachmaninoff Myaskovsky Prokofiev Shostakovich Mansurian Roslavets Mosolov Louri Tcherepnin Ustvolskaya Denisov Gubaidulina and Schnittke. Musicians scholars and students will find here a starting point for research and analysis of these composers works and gain a richer understanding of how to listen to and interpret their music.
