Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1998. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 9 1/4" x 6", ix, 280 pages, musical examples. Few composers' posthumous reputations have grown as steadily as Shostakovich's. Yet outside the concert hall the focus of attention seems to have been on the extraordinary circumstances of his life rather than on the music itself. This book seeks to show that the power of his work stems as much from its craftsmanship as from its political and personal context. The eleven essays lay a foundation for a proper understanding of Shostakovich's musical language as well as providing new insights into the issues surrounding his composition. Hb, no dw, as issued, virtually as new. .

The book reveals how the work displays some of Shostakovich's most… Read More
