| General note | Stravinsky the Music-Maker is the third incarnation of a book that has been greeted with superlatives on each previous appearance. The authors collaborated down the decades of their married life, Hans Keller's pen analysing music, Milein Cosman's catching its makers at work. Stravinsky was a source of fascination for them both, and their "Stravinsky at Rehearsal" appeared in 1962, to be expanded, two decades later, as "Stravinsky Seen and Heard". This book offers the most generous compilation of their work yet: it includes Keller's complete articles on Stravinsky, written between 1954 and 1980, and augments Cosman's celebrated prints and drawings with a number not previously published. The introduction, by the composer Hugh Wood, sites the Keller-Cosman partnership in the framework of the British musical life they enriched. |
