Part 2
The origin of Pelrushka was a concert piece for piano and orchestra, in which the piano was intended to represent a I puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggi, and the orchestra replying with. menacing fanfares.' But when Diaghilev heard Stravinsky play over some of the music he at once saw its possibilities as the basis of a ballet. The completed work was first performed in Paris in 1911, when Nijinsky appeared as Petrushka, and Karsavina as the Ballerina. A few years ago Stravinsky produced a new version of the score, with the aim of securing greater clarity in the texture; and it is this version that will be played tonight. Harold Rutland
