Stravinsky in Context offers an alternative to chronological
biography. Thirty-five short, specially commissioned essays explore
the eventful life-tapestry from which Stravinsky's compositions
emerged. The opening chapters draw on new research into the
composer's childhood in St. Petersburg. Stravinsky's early, often
traumatic upbringing is examined in depth, particularly in the
context of his brother Roman's death, and religious sensibilities
within the family. Further essays consider Stravinsky's years in
exile at the centre of dynamic and ever-evolving cultural
environments, the composer constantly refining his idiom and
re-defining his aesthetics against a backdrop of world events and
personal tragedy. The closing chapters review new material
regarding Stravinsky's complicated relationship with the Soviet
Union, whilst also anticipating his legacy from the varied
perspectives of publishing, research and even - in the iconic
example of The Rite of Spring - space exploration. The book
includes previously unpublished images of the composer and his
family.
