REVIEW VIDEOS

L'histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale), composed in 1918, was originally scored for a small and rather unusual ensemble, ostensibly because of the shortage of available musicians during World War I. That ensemble, a septet, consisted of violin, bass, clarinet, bassoon, cornet/trumpet, trombone, and percussion. The storyline of the stage work follows a violin-playing soldier who sells his violin to the devil in exchange for a mysterious book that promises to bring him great wealth and happiness, but this unknowing encounter with the devil instead leads him to ruin. This edition for violin, clarinet (in A), and piano is arranged by Stravinsky himself. Published by the International Music Company. Difficulty: A6
