Abstract	Stravinsky's re-invention in the early 1920s, as both neoclassical composer and concert-pianist, is here placed at the centre of a fundamental re-consideration of his whole output--viewed from the unprecedented perspective of his relationship with the piano. The author assesses Stravinsky's musical upbringing in St Petersburg with emphasis on his education at the hands of two extraordinary teachers whom he later either ignored or denounced: Leokadiya, for piano, and Rimsky-Korsakov, for instrumentation. Their message, the author argues, enabled Stravinsky to formulate from that intensely Russian experience an internationalist brand of neoclassicism founded upon the premises of objectivity and craft. Drawing directly on the composer's manuscripts, the author addresses Stravinsky's life-long fascination with counterpoint and with pianism's constructive processes. This book presents both of these as recurring features of the compositional attitudes that Stravinsky consistently applied to his works, whether Russian, neoclassical or serial, and regardless of idiom and genre.
