This Month’s Featured Editions...
PULCINELLA ORIGINALS This edition presents the originals from which Stravinsky composed his Pulcinella Suite. Although there are conflicting accounts from Stravinsky about how he came by the 'numerous fragments and shreds of compositions', it would seem that he was presented with a collection of works unearthed by Diaghilev in various music shops. The full title; Pulcinella, ballet avec chant en un acte d'après Giambattiste Pergolesi (1st performance in May 1920), is unambiguous about the source of the musical material. However, since serious Pergolesi studies started in the late 1940's, we know that of the 330 works previously attributed to Pergolesi, only 33 are genuinely his compositions. Thus it transpires that the Pulcinella Suite comprises material from four different composers. Featured on our Fountayne Pops Website... String Quartet arrangements by Bill Thorp |
