Concerto Grosso no. 1 is one of Alfred Schnittke's best-known and
most compelling works, sounding the surface of late Soviet life
while resonating with contemporary compositional currents around
the world such as postmodernism. It marked a decisive point in
Schnittke's development of the approach he called polystylism,
which aimed to contain in a single composition the wide range of
contemporary musical styles, including "jazz, pop, rock, or serial
music." Thanks to it and his other similar compositions, Schnittke
became one of the most-performed and most-recorded living composers
at the end of the twentieth century. Peter J. Schmelz's Alfred
Schnittke's Concerto Grosso no. 1 represents the first accessible
and comprehensive study of this composition. The novel structure of
the book engages with the piece conceptually, historically,
musically, and phenomenologically, with the six movements of the
composition framing the six chapters. Augmenting and complicating
the insights of existing English, Russian, and German publications
on the Concerto Grosso no. 1, the book adds new information from
underused primary sources, including Schnittke's unpublished
correspondence and his many published interviews. It engages
further with his sketches for the piece, and with contemporary
Soviet musical criticism, resulting in a more objective, historical
account of this rich, multifaceted composition, its influences, and
its impact on music making in the USSR and worldwide.
