Among the first of Gerald Abraham's many books were studies of
Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, and his knowledge of Russian literature and
culture has provided the key to his extensive research into the
history of Slavonic music.
Music, for Gerald Abraham, was never merely an artefact to be
measured and described - he believed it should be considered in its
cultural context. It is remarkable how he enlivens our view of the
Russian scene without having lived there for a prolonged period.
"Essays on Russian and East European Music" brings together eleven
essays on Russian, Polish, and Czechoslovakian music published in
various books and journals over a period of twenty years, and a
previously unpublished essay on the operas of Moniuszko.
