The music of Igor Stravinsky has had a profound impact on the development of twentieth-century music. In this book, Jonathan Cross explores the technical and aesthetic legacy of Stravinsky in relation to a broad range of composers, from Varè se to Andriessen, from Messiaen to Birtwistle. He also proposes a reexamination of Stravinsky's own neoclassical music and Theodor Adorno's notorious critique of Stravinsky. This book is part history, part analysis, part aesthetics, and will be of value to anyone who takes an interest in the music of our time.

Jonathan Cross has written several suspense/ mystery novels, including Soul Bearer and Vatican Conspiracy. His ability to weave plot and character it reminiscent of the great suspense writers. However, he brings a new and exciting style of writing that captures the readers inside the story as if they are part of the plot. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/JonathanCross
