ISBN10: 1580465137, ISBN13: 9781580465137, [publisher: Rochester UP] Hardcover Completed in 1924, the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments is one of the works in which Stravinsky developed his neoclassic style. In response to the composer’s description of it as a ‘great passacaglia’, Traut analyses all three movements to identify repetitions of elements that ‘impact the piece at the deepest levels’. He also discusses the compositional sketches, Stravinsky’s performances as a soloist and the critics’ strong but mixed reactions.

The first full-length analytic study devoted to the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, combining sketch studies, musicological context, and straightforward analyses of all three movements.Stravinsky's "Great Passacaglia" marks the first full-length analytic study devoted to the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, an important neoclassic piece composed by one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Donald Traut examines the complex significance of this piece for Stravinsky and his contemporaries. For the composer, the Concerto was both a major artistic accomplishment in his burgeoning neoclassic style and a vehicle for financial gain as a touring soloist, an endeavor that took him throughout Europe and was instrumental in bringing him to America for the first time. For many of Stravinsky's critics it came to represent all that was wrong with his new style, while for others it pointed the way forward through the past, taking on an important role in the Bach revival of the 1920s. By combining sketch studies, musicological context, and straightforward analyses ofall three movements, the book paints a comprehensive picture of the piece's creation, impact, and structure that will be of interest not only to musicologists and music theorists, but to pianists, conductors, and concert-goers aswell.Donald Traut ...
