In terms of his influence and the frequency with which his works are performed, Stravinsky stands preeminent among twentieth-century composers. His oeuvre encompasses nearly every significant trend of his lifetime--and regardless of genre, the Russian composer frequently returned to the musical idiom of his native land, as in Petrushka. Containing all of the music from the original 1911 version, this edition presents Stravinsky's popular ballet in a reduction for solo piano. Ideal for rehearsal or performance, it offers translated stage directions that provide helpful guidance and narrate the exotic story of three magical puppets. Republication of the edition originally published by G. Schirmer.
