Van den Toorn and McGinness take a fresh look at the dynamics of
Stravinsky's musical style from a variety of analytical, critical
and aesthetic angles. Starting with processes of juxtaposition and
stratification, the book offers an in-depth analysis of works such
as The Rite of Spring, Les Noces and Renard. Characteristic
features of style, melody and harmony are traced to rhythmic
forces, including those of metrical displacement. Along with
Stravinsky's formalist aesthetics, the strict performing style he
favoured is also traced to rhythmic factors, thus reversing the
direction of the traditional causal relationship. Here, aesthetic
belief and performance practice are seen as flowing directly from
the musical invention. The book provides a counter-argument to the
criticism and aesthetics of T. W. Adorno and Richard Taruskin, and
will appeal to composers, critics and performers as well as
scholars of Stravinsky's music.
