-
Annotated catalog of Stravinky's works. Commentary helpful in placing his compositions in historical and biographical context. Also useful in finding published scores of Stravinsky's music and finding additional resources for research.
-
Stravinsky's compositions up to his death in 1971.
-
The first thirty pages deal with the author's method of classification. The next section is the catalog, containing entries for each of Stravinsky's compositions arranged by genre and sub-arranged chronologically by date of composition. The author goes beyond the basic elements such as date of composition, edition information, and musical incipits and includes many other useful pieces of information in each entry such as from, style, length (time), scoring, premiere information, and extensive notes. Four indices include an alphabetical and chronological listing of his compositions, discography, and person register.
-
The organization of compositions into three separate indices makes it easy to locate the correct piece. Each category and sub-category is clearly delineated with bold letters and spacing. The author has done more than just list information. He has also written extensive notes that are well-written and give insights mostly into the Stravinsky's life at the time of each composition.
