Reviews

<br> The value of this volume extends beyond Russian music to music in general. Highly recommended. --Choice<p><br>


Lucidly written, thoroughly researched and meticulously documented, Harmony and Discord should be read not just by Russian musicologists, also by cultural and social historians of Russia, and indeed by comparative European historians keen to explore the role played by education and in shaping the national identity of an often misunderstood country. Philip Ross Bullock, Slavonic and East European Review
