Kritik
'Dixon has established himself as an authoritative guide to Schnittke's output...The handbook synthesizes available sources, compiling and collating material from the dominant interpretative studies in Russian, German, and English...When combined with the evidence from Schnittke's sketches-illuminated in the handbook with selected facsimiles and transcriptions-Dixon affords informed insight into Schnittke's compositional workshop...there is so much that is indispensable in this volume; I am going to refer to the handbook frequently in my own research, and I will point my students toward it as well.'

Peter J. Schmelz, in Notes, Volume 79, Number 3, March 2023

'In this Routledge Handbook, [Dixon] has written the first comprehensive guide to all of Schnittke's compositions in English. Dixon compiles much of the extant information on Schnittke's music, including the significant untranslated Russian-language scholarship. Dixon's own contributions are vital, contextualising and synthesising the work of others as well as presenting original analyses...This book is a significant contribution to the newly burgeoning English-language Schnittke literature. It is an invaluable reference source for both its consolidation of existing research and for Dixon's original work.'

Nathan Friedman, in Tempo 77 (303) 2023mehr
