Reviews

The Stravinsky literature continues to grow. This volume consists of letters written by Vera to Igor (mostly during the 1930s), a few brief letters from Igor, and excerpts from Vera's diaries. The editor, Stravinsky's long-time friend and assistant, chose to keep a low profile by not indicating omissions and not identifying many of the names mentioned. The entries reveal a "scarcely believable schedule of travels and social life," but little of musical significance. A generous offering of photographs and facsimiles completes the collection. Recommended for research libraries. Robert W. Richart, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
