Description

Stravinsky's autobiography offers a candid look at the first half-century of his life, filled with his opinions and criticisms. From his early days to the mid-20th century, Stravinsky shares his thoughts on various artistic endeavors.

The composer's views on performance and collaboration are as revealing as they are provocative. For example, he was not impressed by a notable Parsifal performance at Bayreuth, finding it unbearable after just 15 minutes. Similarly, his opinion of the Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky is less than flattering.

This autobiography provides an insight into Stravinsky's artistic journey and personal views on music, making it a valuable read for those interested in the composer's life and work.
