The Stravinsky Violin Collection: 9 Pieces for Violin and Piano

The Stravinsky Violin Collection brings together nine works by composer Igor Stravinsky in a single collection of classical sheet music for violin and piano. This edition offers violinists and pianists a distinctive selection of Stravinsky's chamber repertoire, including music associated with his celebrated collaborations with violinist Samuel Dushkin.

The book features violin and piano arrangements drawn from Stravinsky's operatic and ballet music, alongside Duo concertante, his original composition for violin and piano, and a piece for unaccompanied violin. Bringing these compositions together in one collection provides a convenient reference for exploring the composer's contrasting musical ideas, expressive writing, and instrumental textures.

From the rhythmic character of Danse russe to the lyrical qualities of Chanson russe and the distinctive musical language of Suite italienne, the collection presents a varied portrait of Stravinsky's writing for violin. The repertoire offers material for individual practice, violin and piano rehearsals, musical interpretation, and concert programming, with each composition contributing its own character to the collection.
