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.
