Among the first of Gerald Abrahams many books were studies of Tolstoy & Dostoevsky & his knowledge of Russian literature & culture has provided the key to his extensive research into the history of Slavonic music. Studies in Russian Music" brings together critical essays on the most important of Rimsky-Korsakovs operas & others such as Borodins " Prince Igor" Dargomizhskys " Stone Guest" & also

Includes:: chapters on Glinka Mussorgsky Balakirev & Tchaikovsky copiously illustrated by music examples. In his Preface the author writes: Although this is a book of separate essays it is I hope given a certain unity by the fact that each chapter deals with some product or aspect of the classical period of Russian music: the music of Glinka & more particularly that written in the half-century following his death. I have almost ignored Mussorgsky & Tchaikovsky preferring to concentrate on the less discussed members of the mighty handful above all on Rimsky-Korsakov who has hitherto been unaccountably neglected by non-Russian critics. But in these studies of some of Korsakovs operas I have concerned myself only with certain aspects of them.. .in the attempt to investigate the working of the composers musical mind. This title is an essential reading for all students & lovers of Russian music."
