Book Description
British public had hitherto manifested but a shght interest in Russian music, and the output of modern Russian composers was regarded as a bypath remote from the great main road of the art. In the comparatively short interval since the commencement of this work (at the close of 1912) a remarkable change has taken place and there is now to be observed a widespread and ever increasing curiosity in regard toR ussian music of all kinds a spirit of inquiry not confined to the public of theE uropean mainland but which happily IS as keen in Great Britain as anywhere. Music-lovers have apparently resolved to make amends for their long neglect of the Russian school by taking every opportunity of performing or listening to Slavonic music, and at the same time by seeking all the available knowledge in respect of those masters whose names are linked with the glories of both theM oscow and theS t. Petersburg schools of composition. But while the demand for information has become more and more insistent the supply has remained surprisingly meagre and fitful. From time to time the newspapers have devoted space to articles treating of individual Russian composers or to a study of some particular composition, but no one volume has as yet been dedicated to the purpose of giving a connected account of the rise and progress of the Russian school of musicians.
