Stravinsky's reinvention in the early 1920s, as both neoclassical
composer and concert-pianist, is here placed at the centre of a
fundamental reconsideration of his whole output - viewed from the
unprecedented perspective of his relationship with the piano.
Graham Griffiths assesses Stravinsky's musical upbringing in St
Petersburg with emphasis on his education at the hands of two
extraordinary teachers whom he later either ignored or denounced:
Leokadiya Kashperova, for piano and Rimsky-Korsakov, for
instrumentation. Their message, Griffiths argues, enabled
Stravinsky to formulate from that intensely Russian experience an
internationalist brand of neoclassicism founded upon the premises
of objectivity and craft. Drawing directly on the composer's
manuscripts, Griffiths addresses Stravinsky's lifelong fascination
with counterpoint and with pianism's constructive processes.
Stravinsky's Piano presents both of these as recurring features of
the compositional attitudes that Stravinsky consistently applied to
his works, whether Russian, neoclassical or serial, and regardless
of idiom and genre.
