Musorgsky: Eight Essays and an Epilogue Paperback - 1997
by Richard Taruskin
Incorporating both new and now-classic essays, this book sets the vocal works of Modest Musorgsky in a fully detailed cultural, political, and historical context, elevating the composer's image over other biographers. Among the book's many offerings are the most complete explanation of the revision of the opera "Boris Godunov", and a revisionary characterization of "Khovanshchina" as an aristocratic tragedy resulting from a pessimistic view of history. Includes 102 music examples.
First line
IF THERE was a musical idiom that more than any other distinguished and epitomized the "early kuchkist" period, when the Balakirev circle was indeed a unified "mighty little bunch" and Chaikovsky a friendly fellow-traveler, it was the "intonation" of the melismatic peasant song, the so-called protyazhnaya.
