Stravinsky (Volume 2)
In 1934, Igor Stravinsky was fifty-two, a Russian expatriate living in Paris and already regarded by many as the most important composer of his generation. Stravinsky: The Second Exile follows him through the remainder of his long life, which he would spend largely in the United States. These are the years during which he would compose such masterworks as The Rake's Progress and Symphony in C, and achieve a new level of fame as a conductor and concert pianist in his own right. In this second and final volume of Stephen Walsh's acclaimed biography, the author traces and illuminates Stravinsky's increasingly complex and often agonised family life and his crucially important relationship with h...

A Stravinsky Scrapbook, 1940-1971
This volume focuses on the composer's musical life, presenting facsimiles of some of his completed manuscripts, sketches, and notational jottings, as well as views of him at the piano, conducting, and listening--at rehearsals, recording sessions, and as part of the audience. The book contains a number of sections in which the material is devoted to a single composition and the circumstances of its performance, from Orpheus--when Stravinsky first appeared on the scene--through The Rake's Progress, the Shakespeare songs, the septet, the Canticum Sacrum, Agon, Threni, Movements, A Sermon, a Narrative, and a Prayer, The Flood, Abraham and Isaac, and the Requiem Canticles.
