1. Exposition -- 2. Developments -- Appendix A: Berceuse (words and music by Igor Stravinsky) -- Appendix B: Anthem (words by T.S Eliot, music by Igor Stravinsky) -- Appendix C: Chec lis of Tchaikovsky sources for Le Baiser de la fée.
"In his third volume of conversations with Robert Craft, Mr Stravinsky dredges his memory even more deeply than on precious occasions and brings to light, in the most absorbing detail, reminiscences of his childhood, youth and early manhood in Russia. A most remarkable evocation of St Petersburg, the city that the composer still loves best, forms part of the earlier, 'expository' section of the book. In his 'developments', Mr Stravinsky moves outside Russia and unfolds a wealth of information and racy anecdote, most of which has a direct bearing upon his music. The chronological sweep of these conversations is wide indeed. It embraces not only a most vivid account of how the Rite of Spring was composed and first performed but also his first thoughts about The Fold, one of his most recent works." -- Book jacket
