* The list of orchestration is a comprehensive list of the instruments required for the performance of all the orchestral studies. There is no tutti since each Study is scored differently.

Performance practice: In the 4th Study at figure 9, there are 4 trombones included rather than 3. The tuba has a four-bar solo with upbeat at figure 12 2and then appears for two bars together with 2 trombones at figure 154. It is certainly possible that this single moment at which 4 trombones but no tuba is required indicates that the lowest trombone part is in fact intended to be a tuba part and this makes sense from the context. In the corrections for the manuscript, Strawinsky however corrected the printed number of 3 trumpets to 4 and 2 trombones to 4.

Construction: The orchestral version of the first three Studies corresponds to the originals with a few small alterations. – Alongside the title ‘Danse’ and the metronome marking, the first Study gains the tempo marking Con moto; Strawinsky made no further changes. –

Further to the title ‘Excentrique’ and the metronome marking, the second Study gains the tempo marking Moderato but the several metronomic divisions in the Allegro section of bars 21-31 are removed and the piece is 5 bars longer than the string quartet original (67 bars rather than 62 in the original). This extension occurs solely in bars 32-53 in the original = bars 32-58 in the orchestral version (figure 5 3 – end of figure 8) and consists of the direct repetition of four bars of the original 37-40 (orchestral version bars 37-40 = figures 6 1-4) with a different instrumentation made more pointed by the inclusion of the piccolo and flute (orchestral version bars 41-44 = bars 6 5-8), likewise for the division of the 9/8-bar 53 into a 6/8- and 3/8 (original: bar 53; orchestral version: bars 57-58 = figures 8 6-7). –

Alongside the title and metronome marking, the third Study ‘Cantique’ gains the tempo indication Largo. Furthermore, it is 5 bars longer (51 bars rather than 46 in the original) as a result of an alteration of meter which does not affect the duration of performance in comparison to the string quartet version. The opening section is altered by 1 bar and the final section by 4 bars.
At the beginning of the opening section, two bars are divided into three because Strawinsky rewrote the triplet minims as tied crotchets and thus a 3/2-bar was turned into a 6/4-bar. In the final section, three identical points are affected by a similar process (original bar 38 = orchestral version 16, original bar 41 = orchestral version figure 6 4, original bar 44 = orchestral version 7 1). The changing of the 3/2-bar into a 6/4-bar leads inevitably into a general pause for a complete bar. The same goes for the final bar, which is likewise rewritten as two bars. –

The statements about the fourth study are not possible on account of the subject and the lacking of sources.

Style: Strawinsky orchestrated the first movement on a very large scale, the second movement differentiated as chamber music, the third antiphonally between wind and strings and in the fourth, he sought to achieve conflict between fragments of sound whirling around one another with a Spanish atmosphere. The instrumentation takes the different types of movement into consideration and allows a colouristic development of the original. Strawinsky gives the four-note melody of the first movement in the original to the high woodwind throughout, thus lending it to the euphonious effect of a bagpipe dance. The eccentricity of the clown in the second movement can be clearly heard in the constant alternation between solo textures and small groups of instruments. He replaces the broken chords with glissandi in the piano. The Dies Irae overtones in the third movement, which Strawinsky could just as well have named ‘Hymnus’ rather than ‘Cantique’, are heard in the woodwind. The 1952 revision led to differences in orchestration in the third movement between the later revised and the earlier original versions.

Dedication: The original edition of the String Quartet of the first three Studies was dedicated to Ernest Ansermet while the Pianola version was dedicated to Eugenia Errazuriz; the orchestral version of the Studies however does not bear a dedication.

Duration: 10' 06" (1' 04", 2' 19", 4' 16", 2' 27").

Date of origin: Morges 1914 to 2nd October 1928. This information goes back to White; the printed orchestral score gives the year of completion as 1929. The first three studies were orchestrated between 1914 and 1918 in Morges and the work was completed with the 4th study in Nice on 2nd October 1928.

First performance: The première took place on 7th November 1930 under the auspices of Funk-Stunde Berlin. Before the interval, Ansermet conducted Händel’s Concerto Grosso No. 6 in G minor and Haydn’s first London Symphony in C major. After the interval, Strawinsky played the solo part of his Capriccio for piano and orchestra with the Berliner Funk-Orchester under Ansermet’s direction. The première of the Studies then followed, despite the fact that the work had not yet been printed and the performance had to be played from the manuscript materials. Ansermet finished with Debussy’s La Mer. According to Goubault, Strawinsky conducted on 16th November 1928 ( Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, with the L’Orchestre symphonique de Paris) only the fourth Etude Madrid. – The American première was conducted by Robert Craft together with other works by Strawinsky on 20th November 1949 in New York’s Carnegie Hall. The concert made him a loss of three thousand dollars.

Remarks: Nothing is known about the history of the composition of these works. Strawinsky presumably undertook the revisions in 1952 in order to create a version free from printing errors and not solely to protect his copyright. With the old material, the Studies had not been performable for any more.

Versions: The Russian Publishers only published the orchestral version of the Studies in 1930 which, like the score of the Capriccio which was printed at the same time, was riddled with printing errors. There were obviously incompetent printers on the job in Paris at that time. It says a great deal that the score was not sold. An exemplar >h.3992.r<, acquired on 30th November 1967, is stored in the British Library. The contract, bearing the Roman numeral XII, valid both for the Four Studies for Orchestra as for the Three Little Songs (from the recollections of my childhood) was signed by Gabriel Païchadze on 5th April 1930 in Paris and by Strawinsky on 7th April in Nice. Boosey & Hawkes produced a pocket score of this edition in 1948 which was on the market until the end of April 1948. Nothing more of the non-revised edition was published at that time. In 1952, Strawinsky revised the score, removing the printing errors. This edition was first published in the year of Strawinsky’s death, 1971, both as a conducting score and as a pocket score. The parts were available to hire. A piano version was never completed, which is something that was unusual for Strawinsky’s practice, with the exception of the fourth orchestral piece, the self-standing Study for Pianola, which Strawinsky included in the Studies for Orchestra in order to rescue them as a composition in its publicity. This transcription was for two pianos, produced by Strawinsky’s son Soulima and was published by Boosey & Hawkes in 1951; the contract for it was settled on 6th November 1950. It was not produced from the original pianola version, rather as a piano reduction from the orchestral version and must be appraised as such. John Stott produced an organ version, published in late autumn 1968, of the Cantique, a piece which certainly suggested itself for such treatment, in a series of several organ transcriptions by him.*

* In the Strawinsky literature, there are occasional references to an article “Confusion and Error” published by Norman Del Mar in the October edition of the Boosey house newspaper “Score” in 1957. It is quite general in scope, and concerns itself with a selection of printing mistakes and errors, not only in the Strawinsky scores. It is not systematic in character. It is what is called "Lesefutter" in journalist jargon.

Revised version: The first print run of the Quatre Etudes pour Orchestre may be the edition of Strawinsky’s music that is most plagued by printing errors. In the revision of this error-riddled score, there was almost not a single page that did not contain some objection. Although Strawinsky had already completed the revision by 1952, it took more than a decade before there was a new printing. The time was becoming ripe for a decision by the time of a letter to Stuart Pope of 10th April 1964, when Strawinsky sent an old edition to the publishers with his own corrections and indicated a different instrumentation in the third movement which would make it more easily possible to retain the new protective copyright. In any case, it took seven years before the publishers had the new edition published.

Transcription for Organ: Stott’s transcription of the third piece, which retained the title of the orchestral version, Cantique, was published at the beginning of November 1968. The contributory copy in the British Library bears the date of entry 12th November 1968. The publication was released so as to coincide with the Christmas sales. Boosey & Hawkes produced a series, ‘Music for Organ’, which was designed with a black, white and green title page which was graphically modern in appearance and for which Stott was working. The back page of advertisements of the original edition, with a class number of 30 11.64, explains the different products in the series. The third movement of the work for string quartet was very well suited to an organ transcription with its peaceful flow and religious atmosphere, especially as Strawinsky had never written for the organ and so there are no original works for it by him. In the church works for which there is an organ part, such as the Canticum Sacrum, the parts are limited to the simplest manner of composition which has almost nothing to do with the organ culture and regards the organ as an unsubtle instrument. Stott’s transcription is also conceived in a simple manner and thus is accessible even to beginners, an indication of the target market for which the organ series was intended. A two-manual organ with pedals is required. Stott compared the string quartet with the orchestral version and gives playing instructions on the inside title-page. He adopted the rhythmic notation of the orchestral version and recommended a flute and string registration for the string quartet version. For those with access to a larger organ, Stott included suggestions from the original instrumentation of the orchestral version. For an organ without swell pedal, the unrealizable dynamic markings should be reinterpreted agogically.

Dr John Robert Walmsley Stott (London, 27th April 1921 to 27th July 2011, Lingfield, Surrey) is regarded (alongside William Temple) as the leading personality of the evangelical movement, which after the Second World War grew strongly inside the Anglican-Protestant church, and not just in England. The son of a noble atheist London doctor and an Anglican mother, he took up the study of theology in 1939, became a priest and worked mainly in the Third World. He left behind more than fifty books. Breitkopf & Härtel also represented Stott.
