Thirty-five short, specially commissioned essays explore the eventful life-tapestry from which Stravinsky''s compositions emerged. The opening chapters draw on new research into the composer''s childhood in St. Petersburg. Stravinsky''s early, often traumatic upbringing is examined in depth, particularly in the context of his brother Roman''s death, and religious sensibilities.
