Publisher Notes
While many hundred thousands of pages have been written about Stravinsky, in this book -- the composer's first -- we hear from the man himself An Autobiography chronicles the first half-century of Stravinsky's life, all the while offering his opinions and "abhorrences". A Parsifal performance at Bayreuth? "At the end of a quarter of an hour I could bear no more". Nijinsky? "The poor boy knew nothing of music". Spanish folk music? "Endless preliminary chords of guitar playing".
