Translation of Chroniques de ma vie.
"First published as a Norton paperback 1962; reissued 1998."
Originally published: Simon & Schuster, c1936.
While many hundred thousands of pages have been written about Stravinsky, in this book?the composer's first?we hear from the man himself. An Autobiography chronicles the first half-century of Stravinsky's life, all the while offering his opinions and "abhorrences." A Parsifal performance at Bayreuth? "At the end of a quarter of an hour I could bear no more." Nijinsky? "The poor boy knew nothing of music." Spanish folk music? "Endless preliminary chords of guitar playing." -- Jacket
