Stravinsky, I. - Petrushka in Full Score

Stravinsky's score for the ballet Petrushka, commissioned by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes, was a ground-breaking success upon its Parisian premiere in 1911. It had been preceded by The Firebird and further established Stravinsky as a gifted Russian composer. With the help of his collaborator Benois, the libretto was born - a story of three dancing puppets: Petrushka, the Ballerina, and the Moor - and their tragic tale of love. Fokine and Nijinsky also contributed to the project, and the resulting masterpiece has been widely praised and performed ever since. This edition is a faithful reproduction of the original 1912 edition, printed with high-quality paper and binding, and is an excellent resource for musical scholars, performers, and music enthusiasts alike.
