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.

Stravinsky dirigiert Stravinsky - auf 22 CDs dokumentiert diese Edition zum Sonderpreis, ein in der Musikgeschichte einmaliges Ereignis: eine umfassende authentische Interpretation der eigenen Werke durch einen Komponisten selbst. So kann diese Edition ein Schlüssel zum Verstehen von Igor Strawinskys musikalischem Schaffen werden.

Oblong 4to. 19 pp. Original wrappers. First edition, inscribed "pour Madame René Auberjonois, en grande sympathie, Igor Strawinsky, Morges 17-IX-17". - The present volume constitutes an impressive document of Stravinsky's life during the October Revolution. A composition for his children, this work was penned in 1914/15, shortly after leaving Russia forever and settling down into Swiss exile, all connections to his Russian homeland having been severed by the Great War. The events of the war also meant that Stravinsky was unable to solicit commissions, receive royalties, or even contact his publishers; his collaboration with Djaghilev had more or less ground to a halt, their tour having returned hardly any profit. It was at this time that Stravinsky had to rely upon the generosity of wealthy Swiss patrons such as Madame Auberjonois, who was the first wife of the post-Impressionist Swiss painter René Auberjonois, mother of author Fernand Auberjonois, and later grandmother of the American actor René Murat Auberjonois. Stravinsky had met René Auberjonois in the fall of 1917, during the planning stages of "Histoire du Soldat", and he later became an important acquaintance of Stravinsky's. The present copy must have been presented during the early years of their friendship.…

4to. 1 p. With an autograph envelope. Charming letter in French and German to the silent film star Dagmar Godowsky, thanking her for a "pharmaceutical package" and informing her about a conversation with her brother and his imminent departure for Lake Geneva: "Mille merci de votre envoi pharmaceutique votre frère avec lequel j'ai eu eine telephonische conversation reste ici 2, 3 jours et moi qui pars aujourd'hui au Lac de Genève pour 3 jours (afin de décider pour l'été). En toute hâte. Mille meilleures choses à vous, chère amie, küsse die Hand". Above the text, Stravinsky adds in German that he is in sufficient health: "Gesundheit Got [!] sei bedankt ganz gut". - In her memoir, Dagmar Godowsky (1897-1975) named Stravinsky as one of her great lovers. Little is known of the relationship, but the letter bears beautiful testimony to Stravinsky's familiarity with the actress. Her younger brother Leopold Godowsky Jr. was a violinist and chemist who, together with Leopold Mannes, created the first practical colour transparency film, Kodachrome. - Traces of folds. With tears to the folds and minimal browning.…
