Von Igor Strawinskys «Trois pièces pour quatuor à cordes» erschien im Druck bisher nur die zweite Fassung von 1918 und eine aus den Jahren 1928/29 stammende Bearbeitung im Rahmen der «Quatre études für Orchester». Die auf das Jahr 1914 zurückgehende erste Fassung der Quartettstücke hingegen blieb ebenso unveröffentlicht wie eine im selben Jahr entstandene «Réduction pour piano à quatre mains». Beide werden hier erstmals zusammen mit sämtlichen bekannten Skizzen zu diesem Werk zugänglich gemacht und in sieben Essays kommentiert.

(Music Sales America). Chorus score of Stravinsky's remarkable and original work that combines ballet with vocalists.

This collection features a comprehensive selection of Igor Stravinsky's chamber music, showcasing his collaborations with violinist Samuel Dushkin. It includes opera and ballet arrangements, an unaccompanied violin piece, and the Duo concertante, Stravinsky's sole original work for violin and piano.

The narrative follows the tragic and ironic journey of a wealthy heir, who descends into debt, madness, and ultimately death, inspired by a 1947 exhibition of William Hogarth's prints. The libretto by W. H. Auden and C. Kallman weaves together elements from classical pastoral, the Faust legend, fairy tales, circus, and biblical stories. Igor Stravinsky's music brilliantly integrates influences from the operatic canon, creating a unique work that transcends parody or imitation. This opera remains a significant piece of the 20th-century repertoire.
