Offers readers new ways of conceptualizing music and new insights
into music created in Russia. Since its original publication in
1983, Russian Theoretical Thought in Music has become the standard
English-language source of information about music theory as it
developed in Russia. Because of the distance of culture and
language, music theory developed there largely independent of the
traditions of Western Europe. Over the decades of Soviet rule,
those traditions flourished and were refined even further into a
fascinating world of ideas. Exploring this world offers the reader
new ways of conceptualizing music and new insights into music
created in Russia. This compelling volume includes Ellon
Carpenter's overview of the development of music theory in Russia,
followed by a look into the ideas of six particularly important
theorists. Nicolas Schidlovsky examines the theoretical
underpinnings of Russian Orthodox chant; Gordon McQuere probes the
remarkable ideas of Boleslav Yavorsky and the seminal contribution
of Boris Asafiev; and Roy Guenther explores the analytical system
of Varvara Dernova. Contributors: Ellon D. Carpenter, Allen Forte,
Roy G. Guenther, Gordon D. McQuere, and Nicolas Schidlovsky. Gordon
McQuere is Professor of Music and Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences at Washburn University.
