Poetics of Music in the Form of Six Lessons

Claudia

as pompous as oscar wilde's witticisms, as convoluted as polisci readings at times — stravinsky makes some great points but often without enough explanation/examples for me to fully understand them. could be more coherence at times which maybe a reordering of lessons could help (thought his pov on the evolution of russian music would have benefited from popping up sooner than later) lol boy does he not like wagner
