Stravinsky and that Russian Sound

Our BMus third year students are working on essays about Stravinksy and Beethoven - and we've just obtained a new book that'll be very useful to them:-

Pieter C. Van den Toorn and John McGuinness

 Stravinsky and the Russian period: Sound and legacy of a musical idiom 

 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012)

We also already have Toorn's book on Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.  (But then, we've got rather a lot of books about Stravinsky altogether - look here!)

We are the very helpful Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, doing our very best to support our staff and students' information needs.
