This book is the first to be devoted to the music of Stravinsky's
last compositional period. In the early 1950s, Stravinsky's
compositional style began to change and evolve with astonishing
rapidity. He abandoned the musical neoclassicism to which he had
been committed for the preceding three decades and, with the
stimulus provided by his newly gained knowledge of the music of
Schoenberg and Webern, launched himself on a remarkable voyage of
compositional discovery. The book focuses on five historical,
analytical, and interpretive issues: Stravinsky's relationship to
his serial predecessors and contemporaries; his compositional
process; the problem of creating formal continuity in a repertoire
so obviously discontinuous in so many ways; the problem of writing
serial harmony; and the problem of expression and meaning.
Challenging conventional interpretations, the book shows that
Stravinsky's serial music is not only of great historical
significance, but also of astonishing structural originality and
emotional power.
