Summary of This Score

"The Firebird" by Igor Stravinsky established itself from its creation as a cornerstone of modern orchestral music. At the premiere of the ballet at the National Theatre of the Paris Opera, critics praised the shimmering timbral writing, supporting the narrative and dance through orchestration of remarkable richness. Building on this success, Stravinsky extracted two suites for orchestra from his ballet, intended for concert performance and designed to highlight the most striking moments of the score.

The 1919 suite offered here provides a concise and direct approach, ideal for the symphonic repertoire. It features the characteristic alternation between episodes of great color finesse, incisive rhythmic passages, and more tense atmospheres, typical of Stravinsky's language. This modernized edition facilitates musical work thanks to current notation, more readable for today's musicians, while respecting the spirit and precision of the original writing. The new orchestral materials constitute a major advantage for concert preparation: they meet the practical demands of ensembles, from sight-reading to setup, including balance among sections and clarity of markings.

Whether you are a conductor, orchestra librarian, or musician, this score is aimed at those seeking a solid reference of the orchestral suite "The Firebird" (1919 version), with a presentation optimized for both stage and rehearsal room.
