"The Routledge Handbook to the Music of Alfred Schnittke is a comprehensive study of the mode work of one of the most important Russian composers of the late 20th century. Each piece is discussed in detail, with particular attention to the composers groundbreaking polystylism, as well as his unique approach to musical symbolism and his deep engagement with Christian themes. This is the first publication to look at Schnittkes output in its entirety, and for most works it represents either the first ever published analysis or the first in a language other than Russian. The volume presents new research from the Ivashkin-Schnittke Archive and the collection of Schnittkes compositional sketches at the Julliard Library in New York. It also draws on the substantial research on Schnittkes music published in the Russian language. Including a work list and bibliography of primary and secondary sources, this is an essential reference for all those interested in the areas of Russian music, 20th Century music, and performance studies"--.
