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.

This title is an essential reading for all students & lovers of Russian music."
