Summary

"The book... includes... valuable essays and interviews, which move beyond the scholarly controversy to sketch a nuanced picture of Shostakovich's life under a totalitarian regime.... The 'Casebook' contributors compellingly warn of replacing one mask with another, one black-and-white myth with its simple inversion." -- New York Times"... an important and readable collection.... It presents a devastating critique of Volkov's claims and scholarly practices in Testimony." -- New York Review of BooksA Shostakovich Casebook brings together 25 essays, interviews, newspaper articles, and reviews -- many newly available since the collapse of the Soviet Union -- to create a volume of essential reading and cutting-edge scholarship in Russian music studies.
