Nära nyskick. bound w dustcover , 269 sidor. Indiana University Press (USA, 2002). Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) studied and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was one of the most prolific composers of the twentieth century.Contents: I Schnittke speaks about himself; II Schnittke on the Lenin Prize; III Schnittke on his own compositions; IV Schnittke on creative artists; V Schnittke on twentieth-century music; VI Schnittke as seen by others."I have read all of Alfred's essays with enormous interest and enjoyment. To tell the truth, even though I was his friend, I did not know that he was capable of such careful and interesting analysis, that he had such a profound insight into the music of other composers, and that he found in it so many regular features that were hidden from others. It is splendid that Schnittke's essays and ideas on music are finally being published." (From the foreword by Mstislav Rostropovich).
