In March 1910 during the later stages of composing The Firebird he had experienced the famous 'fleeting vision' out of which The Rite of Spring was to grow. But when Diaghilev and Nijinsky visited him in Lausanne in September 1910 they found him at work on something quite different a concert piece for piano and orchestra called 'Petrushka's Cry'. Together with a 'Russian Dance' composed soon afterwards this music was to form the basis of the ballet which Diaghilev instinctively urged him to write instead. . <br /> <br /> It is from the systematic attempt to render the particular flavour of traditional Russian life into music that Petrushka derives many of its freshest and most original qualities. . <br /> <br /> Looked at in general terms the opening sequence of Petrushka is a prototype of later Stravinskian form. Its underlying rhythmic design may not be complex in the same way as that of The Rite of Spring or the later Russian works but its intricacy of rhythmic detailing and its mixture of a highly fluid pattern of melodic stress with an inert background harmony laid the groundwork for a technique which through many changes of superficial style was to serve him for the rest of his life." Walsh: The Music of Stravinsky pp. 24-29. <br /> <br /> "Petroushka proved just as successful with the public and critics as The Firebird had been; but it was undoubtedly a more original work. In the first place Stravinsky had been able to play a leading part in the construction of the scenario which had not been the case with The Firebird. Secondly whereas the music of The Firebird showed that the pupil had learnt all that his master had had to teach him in Petrushka for the first time the authentic voice of the new master is heard."

16-4191Genève Edition Ad. Henn 1917. . 4to. 28 x 19.8 cm. 8 64pp. Original wraps. Front cover mainly detached. Signed at Morges Switzerland and dated 1918 and inscribed .The poet and playwright René Morax founded his Théâtre du Jorat near Mézières Switzerland in 1903. Made entirely of wood so as to be integrated into the barns of the surrounding countryside it was described this way in an early account: “A theater decidedly unlike any other. A sort of vast chalet a kind of huge barn smelling of resin dried hay fresh fruit and on days when there was a performance Sunday clothes but retaining the rustic dignity of a shrine. A large stage descending in broad steps toward the orchestra pit …â€The theater was closed for several years during the Great War and Morax conceived a drama on the subject of King David to reopen it in 1921. When he turned to his wealthy friend Werner Reinhart who incidentally had recently funded the creation of Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale telling him that he was taking inspiration from Hindu theater for this work his patron offered to lend rare Hindu drums in addition to financial assistance. The text is drawn from the Hebrew Bible I and II Samuel I Kings in addition to the Huguenot Psalter which includes poetry by Clément Marot. The poet’s brother Jean Morax set to work designing costumes and sets. After several more established composers turned him down René on the advice of Stravinsky and the distinguished conductor Ernest Ansermet chose the then unknown twenty-eight year old Arthur Honegger. “When Swiss poet Rene Morax 1873-1963 was looking for a composer for his new King David libretto Stravinsky recommended the twenty-nine-year-old Arthur Honegger a composer who just six years later creating the film score for Abel Gance’s Napoleon would reveal himself as a master of music’s ability to translate epics into sweeping evocative sound. In 1921 right on the cusp of his first successes Honegger wrote the David score in a flush of creative energy.â€. Provenance from the estate of René Morax.

1978152209New York: Simon and Schuster 1978. First edition of this authoritative biography of Igor Stravinsky. Quarto original cloth profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. From the collection of Tony Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Strouse and his wife choreographer Barbara Siman. Over his 50-year career Charles Strouse wrote the music for such iconic musical theater hits as Bye Bye Birdie Applause and Annie as well as the theme song for the classic sitcom All in the Family "Those Were the Days". His partnership with Martin Charnin on Annie produced one of Broadway's most successful scores ever with "Tomorrow" and other songs from the production becoming enduring American musical standards admired by generations. His reach knew no genre or generation – from a number-one Billboard hit in 1958 to Jay-Z's Grammy-winning sampling of "It's the Hard-Knock Life" four decades later – and his honors include three Tony Awards and induction into both the Songwriters and Theater Halls of Fame. With his ownership stamp to the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Designed by Edith Fowler. Jacket design by Robert Anthony.

Departing from conventional narrative the authors tell the story of one of the twentieth century's supreme musical figures largely through primary materials hundreds of photographs letters diary entries contracts and other documents drawn from the Stravinsky archive many published here for the first time accompanied by Craft's connecting commentary and a wealth of annotation. The result is an unusually intimate chronicle that follows Stravinsky from his Russian childhood and the epoch-making early ballets The Firebird Petrushka and The Rite of Spring through his years in Switzerland France and the United States illuminating not only his music but the artists writers and impresarios among them Diaghilev Picasso and Cocteau who populated his extraordinary life. Vera a painter and former dancer who became Stravinsky's second wife and Craft who lived within the Stravinsky household for more than two decades were uniquely placed to compile this rich and authoritative record.

1203A vintage gelatin silver print photograph head and shoulders portrait in part profile with shadow by George Hoyningen-Huene 1934 inscribed and signed in blue ink on the upper right-hand area of the photograph 85x135 cm original mount framed and glazed. <br /> This original vintage photograph of Igor Stravinsky 1882 - 1971 was taken in Paris on November 16 1934 by the famous fashion photographer George Hoyningen-Huene 1900 - 1968.<br /> This is likely to be the second collaboration between the composer and the photographer as Igor Stravinsky's print taken by Hoyningen-Huene first appeared in the 1927 November issue of Vanity Fair. At the time both Stravinsky and Huene resided in France where their second collaboration took place. After their departure from the Russian Empire at the outbreak of WWI the Stravinskys first settled in Switzerland and then in France where they lived up until 1939. Although during the French era Igor created some of his most famous pieces notably Concerto for Two Pianos - 1935 and even managed to find his second love Vera de Bosset 1889 - 1982 the composer later described the Parisian period as the most unhappy time in his life: in 1938 Stravinsky lost his daughter Lyudmila in 1939 - died his wife and mother. The 1934 photograph one of a series was taken shortly after Stravinsky acquired French citizenship and together with his wife Ekaterina moved from Voreppe to Paris. During that period Stravinsky mainly focused on writing music and his autobiography book Chronicle of My Life. Less than a year and a half following the November encounter with George Hoyningen Stravinsky and his son Soulima embarked upon their first voyage to South America during which Igor inscribed this photograph. In the period from April to June 1936 the two visited Buenos Aires Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. Stravinsky's tour in South America was not only arranged but also largely underwritten by his friend Victoria Ocampo 1890-1979 a wealthy Argentine author and publisher of the literary periodical Sur. After giving a series of concerts in Argentina and while passing through Rio de Janeiro Stravinsky had stopped for a few days in order to perform at the Municipal Theater the presentation of his melodrama Persephone with Victoria Ocampo declaiming on June 5 and 12. The event was mostly attended by music critics artists journalists and intellectuals. Stravinsky got extremely upset when the small number of spectators applauded him on the night of the show. When embarking for Europe he declared to journalists: Brazil is still too green for my music. Maybe in fifty years it will understand. The composer signed this photograph a day before his second performance at the Municipal Theater. Shortly after the photograph was taken both Stravinsky in 1939 and Huene in 1935 permanently moved to the United States where their careers continued to blossom. unknown

Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky 17 June O.S. 5 June 1882 6 April 1971 was a Russian composer pianist and conductor later of French from 1934 and American from 1945 citizenship. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird 1910 Petrushka 1911 and The Rite of Spring 1913. The last transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His "Russian phase" which continued with works such as Renard L'Histoire du soldat and Les noces was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassicism. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms concerto grosso fugue and symphony and drew from earlier styles especially those of the 18th century. In the 1950s Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form and instrumentation.
