The Stravinsky Legacy by Jonathan Cross

The Stravinsky Legacy by Jonathan Cross

Stravinsky's music has had a profound impact on the development of twentieth-century music. In this book, Jonathan Cross explores the technical and aesthetic legacy of Stravinsky in relation to a broad range of composers. He also proposes a re-examination of Stravinsky's neoclassical music and Theodor Adorno's notorious critique of Stravinsky.

'This is a well-researched, densely thought and thought-provoking bookIt is all too easy to take Stravinsky for granted at the end of the century, but Cross reminds us how long a shadow - and how many shadows - he has cast.' Music Teacher
'Cross has succeeded brilliantly in unearthing the Hydra-like legacy of Stravinsky's innovations, expressed with a lucidity and succinctness that make the book an absolute pleasure to read.' Tempo
'[a] thoughtful overview of the Stravinsky legacy …' Journal of the American Musicological Society
