Through a rich archival trove of ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and other documents, eminent musicologist H. Colin Slim examines the twenty-year period that began with Stravinsky as a radical European art-music composer and ended with him as a popular figure in American culture. This collection traces Stravinsky's rise to fame--catapulted in large part by his collaborations with Hollywood and Disney and marked by his extra-marital affairs, his grappling with feelings of anti-Semitism, and his encounters with contemporary musicians as the music industry was emerging and taking shape in midcentury America. Slim's lively narrative records the composer's larger-than-life persona through a close look at his transatlantic tours and domestic excursions, where Stravinsky's personal and professional life collided in often-dramatic ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47596519751831,"sku":"9780520299924","price":3410.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520299924.webp?v=1774994058","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stravinsky-in-the-americas-transatlantic-tours-and-domestic-excursions-from-wartime-los-angeles-1925-1945-volume-23-9780520299924","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
