A prevailing belief among Russia's cultural elite in the early
twentieth century was that the music of composers such as Sergei
Rachmaninoff, Aleksandr Scriabin, and Nikolai Medtner could forge a
shared identity for the Russian people across social and economic
divides. In this illuminating study of competing artistic and
ideological visions at the close of Russia's "Silver Age," author
Rebecca Mitchell interweaves cultural history, music, and
philosophy to explore how "Nietzsche's orphans" strove to find in
music a means to overcome the disunity of modern life in the final
tumultuous years before World War I and the Communist Revolution.
