Composers Alfred Schnittke and Valentin Silvestrov brought us some of the most memorable music of the late Soviet Union. Sonic Overload traces these composers' attempts to embrace all aspects of the contemporary soundscape, including influences of popular music, rock, and jazz, before they ultimately retreated to more refined sonic structures.
Peter J. Schmelz is Professor of Musicology at Arizona State University, and author of Alfred Schnittkeâs Concerto Grosso No. 1 (OUP, 2019) and Such Freedom, If Only Musical: Unofficial Soviet Music During the Thaw (OUP, 2009)
