Soviet and Russian music of the first third of the 20th
century--with the exception of the music of a few high-profile
composers who were officially sponsored by the State--is still
largely unexplored territory, known only to a few specialists.
Nevertheless, the music has considerable intrinsic value well
beyond its curiosity appeal, and includes many pieces unaccountably
forgotten and certainly worth reviving, to the ultimate enhancement
of our concert repertoire. The study of this music also explains
much about the foundations of Soviet culture and its subsequent
suppression and decline under the Stalinist yoke. The purpose of
this volume is to stimulate interest in this little-known area of
Soviet/Russian music. The works charted here constitute a great
flowering of avant-garde music which was then savagely dealt with
for Stalin's political purposes.
