Notes on Alfred Schnittke's First Symphony Abstract
Abstract
The memories of the 1970s and 1980s are based on the events surrounding the premiere of Schnittke's First Symphony, Alfred Garrievich's dialogues with his conservatory professor Evgeny Kirillovich Golubev, and the reaction of the musical student community to this work over the past half-century. The author attempts to comprehend the significance of this event for Russian music and trace the further fate of this work.
