A richly detailed musical biography, Stravinsky presents a comprehensive portrait of one of the twentieth century's most revolutionary composers, Igor Stravinsky. Written by the distinguished French-Bulgarian musicologist André Boucourechliev and translated by Martin Cooper, the work chronicles Stravinsky's sweeping artistic evolution — from the explosive early ballets composed for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, through his neoclassical period, to his late embrace of serialism. Boucourechliev argues with authority and insight, dissecting the harmonic innovations and structural audacity that made works like The Rite of Spring, Petrushka, and The Firebird seismic events in the history of Western music. Written with intellectual rigour and passionate clarity, it stands as an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the genius and complexity of Stravinsky's creative legacy.
