Metadiscourse of Russian Musical Culture: Issue 2. ASM-2 and SoMa: a Collective Chronicle of Relationships

Abstract

The collection of materials consists of two sections. The first is the transcript of the Association of Contemporary Music (ASM-2) meeting, where D. Kurlyandsky’s opera “Nosferatu” was discussed. The second contains the correspondence with the members of the meeting held 10 years later. The musicologist A. Amrakhova has made an attempt to comprehend the underlying cause of antagonism between the two branches of the Russian avant-garde.
