Non-nationalists and other nationalists

Abstract

We have discussed Russian music in terms of its Russianness long enough. A short history and analysis of that discourse, its double standards and its contradictions, is given, focusing on the seminal writings of Vladimir Stasov, and an account of its migration westward, at first through the writings of Rosa Newmarch. The article ends with a call for deexoticizing Russian music in the discourse of musicology. © 2011 by the Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
