The Russian avant-garde emerged as trailblazers during a remarkable era in world art at the dawn of the 20th century. Their enduring impact on our culture is evident in various artistic mediums, including paintings, poetry, architecture, cinema, music, and theater. The Three Apostles of Russian Music delves into the lives and contributions of three influential figures who played pivotal roles. Mosolov, Popov, and Roslavets were renowned composers whose works, although now largely forgotten, once captivated audiences worldwide. Their compositions, such as Mosolov's Foundry and Popov's captivating first symphony, showcased their innovative styles and pushed the boundaries of modernism. Notably, Roslavets pioneered serialism before Schoenberg, opening up a new avenue of artistic exploration. Their influence extended beyond Russia, captivating musicians and artists across Europe and America, and their legacy continues to resonate today. This groundbreaking book is the first comprehensive English exploration of their remarkable work, lives, and enduring impact on the world of art.
