The 6th of April 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of Igor Stravinsky’s death. The BBC planned a ‘Stravinsky Day’ on Radio 3 to mark the occasion, with over five hours of programming and features on the Saturday after the anniversary. In the event, the programming was delayed for two weeks as the news came in of the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. All BBC schedules were turned over to playing solemn music and identical news reports, a move which attracted the largest number of complaints the BBC has ever received. There is some faint poetry to discern in the parallels between the death and funerals of the Duke of Edinburgh and the death of Stravinsky back in 1971. Both occasions elicited very public outpourings of grief and various commentators marking the ‘end of an era’; on Stravinsky’s death, musicians, composers, and even politicians made press releases to express their sympathies, including the White House. Both deaths invited reflections on the direction and very existence of their respective spheres: contemporary composition and the monarchy. With the Stravinsky quinquagenary falling this year, it is perhaps inevitable that we would see several new publications released to coincide. One of these, Stravinsky in Context, edited by GrahamGriffiths, is a remarkable taking of the pulse of Stravinsky Studies over the last few years. There has been no shortage of books on Stravinsky, of course: there is perhaps no other twentieth-century composer who has received more scholarly attention. Edited essay volumes have been plentiful in recent years, including Stravinsky and His World; the 2013 anniversary of The Rite of Spring brought about at least two essay collections dedicated to that infamous piece alone. Unlike most other edited collections, however, Stravinsky in Context contains many essays: thirty-five, to be exact. Such a quantity might instantly make one think of large tomes along the lines of Routledge Companions, but that is not the case here; indeed, Stravinsky in Context barely tips over 300 pages. Instead, each contribution is a micro-essay, barely numbering 10 pages or so. For some authors, this clearly provides remarkable freedom while for others it evidently means limitations.
2021年4月6日是伊戈尔·斯特拉文斯基逝世50周年。英国广播公司计划在第三广播电台举办一个“斯特拉文斯基日”来纪念这一时刻,在周年纪念日后的周六播出五个多小时的节目和特写。在活动中,由于爱丁堡公爵殿下去世的消息传出,节目被推迟了两周。英国广播公司的所有节目表都改为播放庄严的音乐和相同的新闻报道,这是英国广播公司有史以来收到的投诉最多的一次。爱丁堡公爵的去世和葬礼与1971年斯特拉文斯基的去世之间有一些微妙的相似之处。这两次事件都引发了公众的悲痛,各种评论家都在标志着“一个时代的结束”;斯特拉文斯基去世后,音乐家、作曲家,甚至政治家都发布了新闻稿来表达他们的同情,包括白宫。这两次死亡都引发了对各自领域的方向和存在的思考:当代构成和君主制。随着斯特拉文斯基五年刊今年的停刊,我们可能不可避免地会看到几本新出版物同时发行。其中一本由GrahamGriffiths编辑的《Stravinsky in Context》是对过去几年Stravinsky研究脉搏的一次非凡解读。当然,关于斯特拉文斯基的书并不缺乏:也许没有其他二十世纪的作曲家受到过更学术的关注。近年来,编辑的散文卷很多,包括《斯特拉文斯基和他的世界》;2013年的《春之祭》周年纪念日,仅就为这篇臭名昭著的文章就带来了至少两本散文集。然而,与大多数其他编辑集不同的是,《语境中的斯特拉文斯基》包含了许多散文:准确地说是35篇。这样的数量可能会立刻让人想起《劳特利奇伴侣》中的大部头著作,但这里的情况并非如此;事实上,《语境》中的斯特拉文斯基几乎没有超过300页的提示。相反,每一篇文章都是一篇微文章,只有10页左右。对一些作者来说,这显然提供了非凡的自由,而对另一些作者来说这显然意味着限制。
