کارگران چینی: تاریخ جدیدی

Piano Works Works from 1954 bis 1973 This volume contains both early works created in the 1950s-60s and the cycles ́Children ́s Music ́ I and II as well as ́Music in the Old Style ́ from 1973, within the early formative years of the composer. Although technically not very difficult, these works place serious demands on the performer, and although not necessarily ́instructive ́, they can be added to the educational repertoire. Thus, Silvestrov continues the traditions of Mussorgsky ( ́Kindestube ́) and Debussy ( ́Children ́s Corner ́). In ́Naïve Music ́ and ́Distant Music ́, the roots of his later ́metaphorical style ́ are revealed very clearly. "Sonatine" and ́Klassische Sonate ́, concert pieces written by Silvestrov in his student days, show traces of Prokofiev ́s influence.

The author provides the most detailed and complete picture of workers protest in China to date and locates their position within the context of Chinese political history. Chinese Workers demonstrates that the image of Chinese workers as politically conformist and reliable supporters of the Communist Party does not match the realities of industrial life in China. Recent outbreaks of protest by workers are less of a departure from the past than is generally realized.
