Zusammenfassung:"The best of my works before The Firebird": this was how Stravinsky remembered Funeral Song. The precious work--106 measures of music lost for 106 years--is brought to life for the first time in 2016 since its creation.

Like her professors before her, musicologist Natalia Braginskaya had long held on to the hope of finding the precious document when one day, she received a call from Irina Sidorenko, the librarian of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. Funeral Song had been found! A year later, Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra perform the miraculously-preserved piece
