This volume is a comprehensive and detailed survey of music and
musical life of the entire Soviet era, from 1917 to 1991, which
takes into account the extensive body of scholarly literature in
Russian and other major European languages. In this considerably
updated and revised edition of his 1998 publication, Hakobian
traces the strikingly dramatic development of the music created by
outstanding and less well-known, 'modernist' and 'conservative',
'nationalist' and 'cosmopolitan' composers of the Soviet era. The
book's three parts explore, respectively, the musical trends of the
1920s, music and musical life under Stalin, and the so-called
'Bronze Age' of Soviet music after Stalin's death. Music of the
Soviet Era: 1917-1991 considers the privileged position of music in
the USSR in comparison to the written and visual arts. Through his
examination of the history of the arts in the Soviet state,
Hakobian's work celebrates the human spirit's wonderful capacity to
derive advantage even from the most inauspicious conditions.
