The book, published in four languages, is intended for professional musicians, performers and researchers of Stravinsky's works, for listeners and readers with demanding standards, for those interested in the history of the Russian musical culture of the early twentieth century, in the life of distinguished composers and performers, in the musical life of St. Petersburg, as well as for those who value contacts with the original, priceless documents recording the creative process of composers.
