Summary of This Score
This edition juxtaposes two essential states of Petrushka by Igor Stravinsky, considered as two distinct and parallel realizations of a foundational 20th-century masterpiece. It highlights the uniqueness of each version: 1911 stands out as a stage work with exceptional dramatic effectiveness, while 1947 is more oriented toward concert listening, with a conception designed primarily for the concert hall.
Designed to allow a precise comparison, this corrected edition offers a real advantage for analysis, performance preparation, and understanding compositional choices. The original engraving was carefully compared with the manuscript to provide the most coherent musical text possible. The stage directions in Russian have been updated with modern spelling, and the volume also includes complete translations into English and German, useful as a cross-referencing tool.
Whether you are a conductor, performer, composition student, or repertoire enthusiast, this score serves as a reference work to explore the dramaturgy, orchestration, and evolution of the same work between stage and concert, at the heart of Stravinsky's aesthetic.
