composer

Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)

1917/28

arranger

Soulima Stravinsky (1910-1994)

Madrid, performed on this album in a later two-piano arrangement by Soulima, started life in 1917 as a study for the pianola before being transcribed for orchestra by the composer himself as one of his Four studies (1928).

Madrid, jouée dans cet album dans un arrangement ultérieur pour deux pianos de Soulima, vit le jour en 1917 comme une étude pour pianola avant d’être transcrite pour orchestre par le compositeur lui-même comme l’une de ses Quatre études (1928).

Madrid, das hier in Soulimas Bearbeitung für zwei Klavier erklingt, schrieb er 1917 ursprünglich als Studie für Pianola; später bearbeitete er es für Orchester und gliederte es den Vier Studien (1928) ein.
