About This Item
Large quarto 34.5x26 cm., original wrappers, 35pp. Art moderne cover design by Hryhory Borysevich Berkovich (1905-1972), Ukrainian artist who studied with Viktor Pal'mov and worked in Kharkiv. First Ukrainian edition of 1000 copies and only one with this cover. Stravinsky took three dances out of his 1911 ballet and produced three pieces for piano at the request of Arthur Rubenstein for concert performance. The score was printed in France in 1921. These are not merely transcriptions but independent works, which stand on their own. During the 1930s Soviet authorities took a dim view of Stravinsky's work, increasing suppression and it was banned altogether by the end of the decade and would remain so for over 20 years. No institutional holdings found in worldcat. A nicely preserved copy, with owner inscription on cover.
