The memoirs of the Russian-born German composer Georg von Alberecht
(born Kasan 1891, died Heidelberg 1976) are an important document
of 20th-century musical history. Dictated to his son Michael von
Albrecht and first published in German, von Albrecht's
autobiography recounts his dramatic experiences during the 1917
Russian revolution and the Nazi terror. His reports of encounters
with such other composers as Taneyev, Glazunov, Scriabin,
Stravinsky, Hindemith, Frommel, David, and others, and his thorough
discussion of tonal systems and compositional methods, reflect the
approach and critical response to many procedures typical of the
20th-century music. His analyses shed light on the works of other
composers and the development of modern and postmodern
compositional strategies. Translated by Michael von Albrecht and
Francis R. Schwartz, and edited by Elliott Antokoletz, these
memoirs offer the English-speaking reader a first-hand account of
some of the most dynamic political, social, and musical
developments in 20th-century Europe.
