Recenzje

The Notebooks of Alexander Skryabin brings to life the previously unpublished confessions from the composer's secret journals in fresh, modern translations. Simon Nicholls lends historical context and insightful perspective to Skryabin's profound and provocative theories. Now that Skryabin's philosophical thinking has earned a critical respect it deserves, this book promises to become an essential resource for students and scholars.
