| Summary: | This article examines the critical reception of the Russian composer Alexei
Stanchinsky (1888-1914). It focuses on the critical reviews published in
Russian newspapers and musical periodicals during Stanchinsky’s lifetime.
Its findings are a result of original archival research conducted in Moscow
in 2019. This study shows that Stanchinsky’s work received a more mixed
reception during his lifetime than previously claimed. As such, it provides
a more nuanced insight into Stanchinsky’s reception, as well as the views
and prejudices of early 20th century Russian music critics. |
