"This collection views Russian music through the Greek triad of 'the Good, the True,
and the Beautiful' to investigate how the idea of 'nation' embeds itself in the public
discourse about music and other arts with results at times invigorating, at times
corrupting. In our divided, post-Cold War, and now post-9/11 world, Russian music,
formerly a quiet corner on the margins of musicology, has become a site of noisy contention.
Richard Taruskin assesses the political and cultural stakes that attach to it in the
era of Pussy Riot and renewed international tensions, before turning to individual
cases from the nineteenth century to the present. Much of the volume is devoted to
the resolutely cosmopolitan but inveterately Russian Igor Stravinsky, one of the major
forces in the music of the twentieth century and subject of particular interest to
composers and music theorists all over the world. Taruskin here revisits him for the
first time since the 1990s, when everything changed for Russia and its cultural products.
Other essays are devoted to the cultural and social policies of the Soviet Union and
their effect on the music produced there as those policies swung away from Communist
internationalism to traditional Russian nationalism; to the musicians of the Russian
postrevolutionary diaspora; and to the tension between the compelling artistic quality
of works such as Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps or Prokofieff's Zdravitsa and the
antihumanistic or totalitarian messages they convey. Russian Music at Home and Abroad
addresses these concerns in a personal and critical way, characteristically demonstrating
Taruskin's authority and ability to bring living history out of the shadows."--Provided
