Stravinsky: The Composer And His Works

Product Description In the second edition of the definitive account of Igor Stravinskys life and work, arranged in two separate sections, Eric Walter White revised the whole book, completing the biographical section by taking it up to Stravinskys death in 1971. To the list of works, the author added some early pieces that have recently come to light, as well as the late compositions, including the Requiem Canticles and The Owl and the Pussycat. Four more of Stravinskys own writings appear in the Appendices, and there are several important additions to the bibliography. From the Back Cover A strong shaping hand and cultivated mind has produced this big, beautiful all-purpose Stravinsky book. Anyone interested in the composer must acquire it. --American Record Guide
