Shostakovich in context

de Rosamund Bartlett

"This interdisciplinary volume seeks to present Shostakovich and his music in many different contexts, in order to establish a more rounded picture of the composer's legacy. The authors of the articles collected here are leading scholars in Russian music and literature who have drawn on unpublished correspondence, archival sources, and the latest research to present important new information about each decade of Shostakovich's career."--Jacket.
