The Caucasian Connection
The ballets of Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978) occupy a special place in the history of Soviet ballet and of Soviet music. Considered along with Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev as one of the leaders of Soviet music, Khachaturian devoted many years to the creation of ballet, although in the end he produced only three ballet scores: Schast'e [Happiness], completed in 1939; Gayane, completed in 1942; and Spartak [Spartacus], completed in 1954…
Intersections and Transpositions

The Cambridge Companion to Modern Russian Culture

As Russia faces new cultural challenges from outside its national boundaries, this volume introduces Russian culture in all its rich diversity, including the historical conditions that helped shape it and the arts that express its highest achievements. Newly commissioned essays by leading scholars explore language, r…

The tale of Boris Godunov - tsar, usurper, tsarecide - dating from the early seventeenth-century Time of Troubles, inspired three major nineteenth-century Russian cultural expressions: in history by Nikolai Karamzin, in drama by Alexander Pushkin, and in opera by Modest Musorgsky. Each of these famous creations was a vehicle for generic innovation, in which a specifically Russian concept of genre was asserted in opposition to the reigning Europea…

Drawing on access to previously unknown or unavailable Russian-language sources, including extensive archival material, Har…
Tchaikovsky's Ballets
Tchaikovsky's Ballets combines analysis of the music of Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and Nutcracker with a description based on rare and not easily accessible documents of the first productions of these works in imperial Russia. Essential background concerning the ballet audience, the collaboration of composer and ballet-master, and Moscow in the 1860s leads into an account of the first production of Swan Lake in 1877. A discussion of the theatre …
Love for Three Operas
Vsevolod Meyerhold, who studied music in his youth and briefly considered a musical career before choosing the theater, once said, I consider my musical education the basis of my work as a director.1 An examination of his enormously influential theoretical and practical work-throughout his long career-gives us no reason to dispute that claim. Not only did Meyerhold attempt to develop a precise musical vocabulary for the productions he directed, i…
