Stravinsky, Igor. (1882–1971)
Autograph Musical Quotation, "Petrouchka."
Superb AMQS, two instantly identifiable measures from "Petrouchka" boldly accomplished in brown ink, signed "Igor Strawinsky" and dated "II - 3/57." On an off-white album page measuring 6 x 4.4 inches [15.2 x 11.2 cm]. Some light foxing, two hole-punches along the left edge, overall very good. A fine quotation from one of the composer’s most popular and enduring works.Stravinsky composed the music during the winter of 1910–11 for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the ballet was premièred in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on June 13, 1911 under conductor Pierre Monteux, with choreography by Mikhail Fokine and sets by Alexandre Benois, the title role danced by Vaslav Nijinsky.
