Krzysztof Penderecki: “Great music is always music of meaning”

I think that the rational and the emotional are equally important and that they compliment each other. You cannot just improvise and count on the inspiration of the moment, which in the process of working either appears or does not. Read More»»

Tatyana Bershadskaya. The voice of Russian music theory in the 20th and 21st century.

“…One of the most important points, that I can consider a real find of my own, is the concept of a carrier or informant of lad functions. I’m talking about a certain structure, which is capable of informing us about… Read More»»

Sergei Slonimsky. The Age of the Symphony in the XXI Century.

Music under Soviet rule

This ongoing collection of documents is offered to travellers on the World Wide Web who happen to be drawn to the classical music made in the former Soviet empire, or by composers and musicians who were active within its borders between 1917 and 1991.

Their simple availability is the primary reason for this site. Some of these pieces have appeared in journals either inaccessible to general readers or now out of print. Here they are online for access at any time anywhere in the world. This might have appeared futuristic to most of us only a few years ago; to the former inhabitants of «Soviet information space» it would have seemed a bitterly laughable pipedream (indeed the Web as we know it post-dates the fall of the USSR).
