A prevailing belief among Russia's cultural elite in the early twentieth century was
that the music of composers such as Sergei Rachmaninoff, Aleksandr Scriabin, and Nikolai
Medtner could forge a shared identity for the Russian people across social and economic
divides. In this illuminating study of competing artistic and ideological visions
at the close of Russia's "Silver Age, " author Rebecca Mitchell interweaves cultural
history, music, and philosophy to explore how "Nietzsche's orphans" strove to find
in music a means to overcome the disunity of modern life in the final tumultuous years
before World War I and the Communist Revolution.
