  The compositions of Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) are known for their exquisite construction, their unlikely embrace of material from disparate sources, their predisposition for melancholia, and their tremendous beauty. This title presents his life, his works, other composers, and a range of topics in twentieth-century music.
