“Variations On The Theme Galina Ustvolskaya: The Last Composer Of The Passing Era (Third Edition)” by Semyon Y. Bokman
“She destroyed the aesthetics of demonism, bringing it to the extremes and exhausting it. She touched upon the most important and urgent problem of our being – the problem of its (non)-spirituality. And how convincingly it is expressed by her creativity!”
– an excerpt from the book
ARPress is glad to announce the release of “Variations On The Theme Galina Ustvolskaya: The Last Composer Of The Passing Era” by Semyon Y. Bokman. This is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, ARP website, and other leading online bookstores.
Galina Ustvolskaya is a musician and artist who is unlike any other in music history or art history due to her closed and conflicting nature. Her music functions as a sort of enigmatic ritual. The primary ideological issues and conflicts of our time are the focus of her music, which is low-volume but extremely tense.
There are numerous allusions throughout this work. Through a sort of logical approach, the author attempts to make sense of and provide an explanation for the gifted composer, who represents the dominant currents in twentieth-century art.
Semyon Y. Bokman is a practical composer. He is a member of the National Association of Composers of the United States of America (NACUSA). This book is the author’s manifest, in which he declares how culture and art should change or substitute for the gone era, of which Ustvolskaya is the most precise representative.
