Stravinsky, Igor - Suite Italienne For Cello and Piano Published by Boosey & Hawkes

Following World War I, Stravinsky composed the opera Pulcinella, with music based on compositions by the Italian composer Pergolesi.  A great success, over the next 10 years Stravinsky released three pieces based on excerpts from the opera under the title Suite Italienne -- one of which was for Cello and Piano in 1933.  He collaborated with cellist Gregor Piatigorsky for this, resulting in a challenging and unique piece that is arguably better known today than the opera it is based on.Published by Boosey & Hawkes.Difficulty: ASTA Grade 6
