Extract

It can hardly have escaped the reader's attention that certain changes have taken place in Eastern Europe and beyond. In December 1980, when Lewis Foreman published his comments about Nikolai Roslavets in Tempo No. 135, discussion of the Russian modernists, of composers such as Roslavets, Lourié and Mossolov, was still largely impossible in the Soviet Union. It followed that it was extremely hard to find out what music had in fact survived in archives public and private, and even harder to get that music performed.
