The Three Apostles of Russian Music delves into the lives and legacies of three influential figures in the Soviet avant-garde who played pivotal roles in shaping modernist music during the 1920s. Mosolov, Popov, and Roslavets were renowned composers whose works have unfortunately been forgotten over time. These remarkable musicians created masterpieces such as Mosolov's Foundry, a sensational piece of machine music that showcased their innovative approach. Popov's first symphony, although initially met with acclaim in Europe and America, faced censorship after its premiere, highlighting the political complexities of the era. On the other hand, Roslavets made groundbreaking contributions to modernism by pioneering serialism, a musical technique that predated the works of Schoenberg. This book, the first study in English dedicated to the work, lives, and legacies of these "apostles" of the Russian avant-garde, offers a comprehensive exploration of their artistic contributions and their enduring impact on the world of music.
