English Description:

Originally published in the Soviet Union about 1957, this book covers everything from symphonic music, oratorios, opera and ballet through chamber music, popular song, and operetta.

"Soviet music has traveled a long and intricate road in the forty odd years that have elapsed since the October Revolution of 1917. Expressing progressive humanist ideas, drawing upon the life-giving source of the multinational art of the peoples inhabiting the U.S.S.R., and developing further the traditions of the nineteenth-century European classical school, it has given the world many works of lasting value."
