Description: This book grew out of the International Stravinsky Symposium and the papers commissioned for it. The participants' new insights fall into three broad categories. First, there are those of a general nature that shed light on some of the central aesthetic issues of our time, as reflected in Stravinsky's music. Second, there are those that lead to a more precise understanding of the different periods of Stravinsky's career and the forces operating within them. Third, there are those that reveal threads of continuity that permeate Stravinsky's entire oeuvre.
