Where it came from
Expositions and Developments is the third of six collaborative volumes written by Igor Stravinsky and his close associate, the composer and conductor Robert Craft. Published in 1962, the book emerged from a period in which Stravinsky sought to clarify his aesthetic philosophy and respond to the evolving landscape of 20th-century music. These dialogues were designed to serve as a record of his thoughts on his own creative process and his relationships with fellow figures in the arts.
The text is noted for its incisive, sometimes prickly tone, reflecting Stravinsky's disciplined approach to composition and his disdain for romanticized notions of musical expression. Robert Craft's role as interlocutor was instrumental in shaping the book's structure, which oscillates between technical musical critique and personal anecdote. The volume remains a cornerstone of musicology for its primary-source insights into Stravinsky's transition from his Russian period to his later serialist compositions.
