Darin geht es sowohl um die einzelnen Werke als auch um die Entwicklung von Stravinskijs Tonsprache während der gesamten Schaffenszeit. Hauptziele der Arbeit sind die Gesamtanalyse von Kompositionen sowie der Nachweis einer die verschiedenen Schaffensphasen, die Stilvielfalt, die wechselnden Besetzungen und den Wandel musiktheatralischer Gattungen übergreifenden Kohärenz seiner Musik. Obwohl Stravinskijs Werk oftmals in drei verschiedene Stilperioden – die russische, die neoklassizistische und die serielle – untergliedert wird, zeichnet es sich durch gemeinsame Konstruktionsprinzipien einer ureigenen Tonsprache aus. Die Analysen legen deren grundlegende Elemente und ihre Grammatik offen. Jedes der acht Kapitel des Buches ist auf einen Aspekt der Tonsprache Stravinskijs fokussiert, jeweils in der Abfolge der Chronologie der Werke. Aus diesem Grund werden dieselben Kompositionen in mehreren Kapiteln unter verschiedener Perspektive untersucht. Auf diese Weise ergeben sich ganz wesentliche neue Einsichten zum Gesamtschaffen Stravinskijs. The Language of Stravinsky proposes new methods of looking at Stravinsky’s work, more than 40 years after his death. It considers both his individual compositions and the evolution of his work over his lifetime. The main purpose of the book is to analyse and clarify the inner coherence of Stravinsky’s music, despite the wide variety of styles, instrumental combinations and theatrical modes with which he worked. Though his career is often seen as falling into three distinct periods – Russian, Neoclassical and Serial – his work as a whole is threaded through with a language unique to himself as a composer. The analysis presented in this account identifies the basic elements and grammar of this underlying musical language. Each of the eight chapters of the book focuses on one aspect of Stravinsky’s musical language, followed chronologically within that chapter. The same works are therefore often studied in different chapters, looked at from a different musical perspective. This analysis of Stravinsky’s music over time provides major new insights into his work.
