Small Craft Advisories: Critical Articles on Art, Ballet, Music, Literature & Film (1984-1988) | Cultural Analysis & Historical Perspectives | Perfect for Art Historians & Humanities Researchers

There is no doubt that Robert Craft is one of the most informed commentators of our century. His expertise ranges across a wide variety of arts, but centered on music. His chapter on Lassus (in another volume) is one of the most illuminating pieces I have read on this composer. Naturally, when it comes to Stravinsky, he is the central authority, having been an assistant to the composer from his very earliest American years (1948) right through to his (Stravinsky's) death. These are shorter articles ("Small Craft" - very witty) published as reviews. All of them are very finely written and informative. I will buy whatever he writes.
