He discusses six major works of Russian music from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, showing the interplay of musical texts with their literary and historical sources within the ideological and cultural contexts of their times. Each musical work becomes a tableau representing a moment in Russian history, and together the works form a coherent story of ideological and aesthetic trends as they evolved in Russia from the time of Pushkin to the rise of totalitarianism in the 1930s.Gasparov discusses Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmilla (1842), Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov (1871) and Khovanshchina (1881), Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin (1878) and The Queen of Spades (1890), and Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony (1934). Offering new interpretations to enhance our understanding and appreciation of these important works, Gasparov also demonstrates how Russian music and cultural history illuminate one another.Russian literature and thought.MusicRussiaHistory and criticismMusicSoviet UnionHistory and criticismOperaRussiaMusic and literatureElectronic books.MusicHistory and criticism.MusicHistory and criticism.OperaMusic and literature.780/.947Gasparov B1050042MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452359303321Five operas and a symphony2492762UNINA
