Style: At the beginning of the 1920’s, Strawinsky’s preference to compose for wind ensembles grew. From the Symphony of Wind Instruments to Mavra and the Octet, he experimented with numerous combinations of wind instruments. In the Concerto, he added timpani and double basses to an orchestra consisting of triple woodwind and quadruple brass. The Concerto is his second neo-Classical work after the Octet. It uses a Classical Allegro-movement form, a three-movement structure, variations, polyphonic and contrapuntal techniques as well as bitonal, short archaic gestures, mechanical motor-rhythm tempi and intricate rhythmic figures. This shows that nothing was lost from the experiences of the years since Sacre, and the piece was enriched by traditional techniques, especially from the Classical period. Solo instrument and orchestra are determined by the sounds of percussion.
Dedication: à Madame Nathalie Koussevitzky [To Mrs Nathalie Koussevitzky].
Duration: etwa 7'09" + 7'00" + 5'01".
Date of origin: Biarritz, from the middle of the year 1923 up to 21th April 1924.
First performance: on 22th May 1924, Opera Paris, in the series of concerts Kussewitzky, Igor Strawinsky (piano) conducted by Serge Kussewitzky. A pre-première predated the actual première on 14th May 1924 in the house of Princess de Polignac in Paris, at which Igor Strawinsky played the solo part and Jean Wiener the orchestral part on a second piano. This may have been from Strawinsky’s version for two pianos which had been completed in April. The date can be inferred from a comment of Strawinsky in which he stated that he played his concert 8 days before the actual première in the house of the princess.
Remarks: The Piano Concerto continues the series of compositions, beginning with the Octet, which were abstractly composed and orchestrated subsequently. It was first in the course of his compositional work that Strawinsky came to the conclusion that this composition would be best realized as a piano concerto. He had begun work with the intention of writing a work of dry clarity. Once he had established the forms, he decided on the piano, the sound of which he found to be clear, pure, clean and polyphonically transparent. Against this sound, he wanted to set a similarly dry and polyphonically transparent orchestral sound. For this reason, he thus settled on the wind orchestra, to which he added double basses, presumably because they could play lightly in imitation of the sound of percussion. Letters were sent to Ansermet which indicate the chronological progress of the composition. On 29th July 1923, the piano was confirmed as the solo instrument while Strawinsky had evidently come to the conclusion that the orchestral part would not be a large symphony orchestra but a select group of instruments. In a letter of 23rd February 1924, he advised Ansermet of his work on the third movement and the orchestration of the first, while he at this time had already completed both the composition and orchestration of the second movement. He was working on the piano reduction at the same time. It can be seen from the date on the surviving autograph score that Strawinsky completed the score on 21st April 1924. The work was not composed with the aim of expanding his own repertoire but it was for the first time that he publicly played piano as soloist.
Situationsgeschichte: The Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, the Piano Sonata, the Serenade for Piano and the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra ( Capriccio), make up a series of pieces with which it was practical for Strawinsky to earn his living. After the loss of income from his Russian properties, Strawinsky saw himself as being incapable of feeding his eleven-strong family only on the royalties and fees from commissions, especially as his successful works which had been published by Koussevitsky’s Russian music publishing house, enjoyed no copyright protection and thus could be plundered. In this way, the curious situation arose that Strawinsky earned almost nothing from his most successful work, the Firebird ballet, for many years, apart from that which Diaghilev paid him voluntarily. In the first years after the political expropriation debacle, patrons appeared who kept him afloat with regular payments, including the Princess Polignac and Mrs. Errazuriz. This could not continue in the long run. It was clear that composition commissions and the resulting royalties would not be sufficient to support Strawinsky’s civic existence. He ruled out the possibility of his taking on teaching duties: Strawinsky, with the exception of certain private lessons beginning after 1939 in the United States, never taught and never wanted to teach, although he did give introductory seminars at American universities. Lectures would have taken up a great deal of time and brought in little money, so he had to become artistically active in performance, conducting and playing the piano in public. He managed to involve his own works in both of these activities in order to make both the performances and his works more interesting. This source of income did in fact increase; Strawinsky remained on tours for decades and earned a material fortune, although from a spiritual perspective he lost a much greater one from the time wasted, which a man like Strawinsky could have used for more worthy matters. The première of the Piano Concerto was also the beginning of Strawinsky’s career as a pianist, for which he had Serge Koussevitsky, to thank for helping to set him on the right path, as did so many others. Koussevitzky’s fortune was due to his wife Nathalia. He came from poor circumstances and, as a consequence of this, became a (masterful) double bassist, because the St. Petersburg Conservatoire at that time accepted students without any obligation to pay school fees if they chose an underrepresented instrument (at the Conservatoire).It was he who suggested to Strawinsky that he play the solo part himself; this meant additional income then and in the future for the composer, who urgently needed it. At first, Strawinsky hesitated because he did not care about the instrument since the Etudes of 1908. He sourced a copy of the Czerny Studies, began to practise and managed to première his new work as a soloist. He had bad stage fright which led to him almost having a memory lapse at the beginning of the second movement and he was close to giving up. The quick-thinking Koussevitsky helped him out of the fatal situation and the concert went well. From then on, Strawinsky played his piano works himself. He retained the exclusive right to perform the Piano Concerto for five years. The surviving recordings show Strawinsky to be a pianist who above all had strong articulation. The highlight of his playing must be the Parisian recording of the Serenade from 1934. His activity as a pianist on a grand scale spanned a period of approximately 15 years until his emigration to America in 1939. At the same time, he had to create a piano repertoire that was suited to him in order that he would be able to perform an entire concert or else as part of a concert with a classical symphony. These considerations, not exclusively but as a large factor, were what led to the composition of the Capriccio and the two solo works for piano. The solo works however did not extend to a full evening’s programme for piano, but Strawinsky, who almost without exception still played only his own music, was able to bring his solo performances into mixed chamber-music evenings. A decade after the first wave of piano compositions, there followed a wave of transcriptions after he had come to know Samuel Dushkin. He wrote numerous violin editions of his works for general evenings of violin and piano music with the assistance of Dushkin, while additionally contributing original compositions ( Duo Concertant, Suite Italienne) with which both artists went on concert tours for many years.
Significance: The historical significance of the Piano Concerto lies in the new compositional role that Strawinsky allots to the solo instrument. After Brahms, the piano sound, because of his brittle tone, was increasingly repressed in the concerto compositions; the composer’s interest lay in the psychological refinement of the orchestra, the colossal expansion of which gradually came to its peak in the mammoth orchestra of the time around 1900, and the piano was adopted as another orchestral sound among the others. The young Strawinsky did not proceed differently. In the piano concerti of the time, the orchestra overwhelmed the solo instrument, as in the case of Reger, and had the effect of a strange quasi-symphonic poem with piano obligato. The piano concerti of Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönberg or Hans Pfitzner come across rather as mandatory exercises in composition than as original concerti. Composers that were strongly preoccupied with the orchestra, such as Gustav Mahler, Franz Schreker or Paul Gräner, who was highly regarded at that time, wrote no piano concerti at all, and they were accused (though whether correctly or incorrectly remains to be seen), of almost hating the piano. Good critical diagnosticians of the time, such as Alfred Baresel, recognised these connections and described them, and for this reason showed themselves to be taken with Strawinsky’s Piano Concerto. Strawinsky adopted this brittle language and returned the piano to its role as soloist; he avoided not only the opposition between piano and orchestral colour, but consciously developed the orchestra towards the piano sound. To this end, he removed all the strings, apart from the double basses, from the orchestra and adapted the relationship between the piano and orchestral sound to be based on a percussive sound; the resultant skilful unity caused amazement and awe in those who understood what he was doing. Strawinsky’s Piano Concerto therefore stood as a new type of work for the year 1924 which combined older concepts of function with the contemporary ideal of sound as well as the traits of Busoni’s new classical approach, which Strawinsky realized, can be recognised in this connection.
Versions: The rights for the Piano Concerto went to the Russian music publishers owned by the two Koussevitskys in Berlin. The performing material was available to hire from 1924. In the same year, the piano reduction for two pianos was published under the sham editorship of Albert Spalding while a conductor’s score, which was probably available from 1927, was first registered as being published in 1936 but was probably not available to buy or was not sold until 1938. In the first year of publication, 1924, the Russian publishers produced 161 copies of the piano reduction, and up to the end of 1938, 1136 copies in total worldwide. A second edition was published in 1929. The advert page of the 1929 edition includes three more items than the 1924 version. Added are the pocket score of the ballet suite of Pulcinella along with the Overture and Mother’s Aria from Mavra. Taking into consideration the sales figures of 1938, the existence of at least one further edition can be assumed. After Strawinsky’s works which were owned by the Russian publishers had passed to Boosey & Hawkes, the London publishers re-published the piano reduction after the signing of the contract on 6th November 1950, in September 1953 at the latest, and in August 1960, the pocket score followed, for which a further print-run in May 1962 can be verified. Strawinsky received his copy in October 1960 and the British Library received its copy on 27th September 1960. Unlike in the London edition, Spalding’s name was not mentioned in the Russian subsequent printing from1968. After Strawinsky’s death, the full score was again produced in May 1974.
Revised version: The revisions for the Piano Concerto concern remaining printing errors from the first edition and altered Italian performance indications and metronome markings. The piano part is left almost untouched, with the exception of two B flats doubled at the octave at figures 7 and 29. In the orchestral parts, there are a few minor adjustments to the instrumentation which probably were printing errors in the original. Even though the revision bears a later date, Strawinsky had already completed it by the end of the Second World War because he used the corrected material for his performances in the Carnegie Hall in New York on 1st and 2nd February 1945, for which he himself conducted and Beveridge Webster played the piano part. These corrections to the score and instrumental parts, which were also created before the general contract with Boosey & Hawkes, were taken by Ralph Hawkes to London on 1st May 1948. As a result, Strawinsky fell into distress in November because the Boston Symphony Orchestra wanted to perform the work and Strawinsky was afraid that Boosey & Hawkes or their American branch, Galaxy Music Corporation, would send over the old set of parts produced by the Russian music publishers on request. The event is recounted in a letter from Strawinsky to Robert Craft of 10th November 1948. It can reasonably be assumed that he based all his further performances on his corrected version. In the letter to Craft, he makes the observation that the incorporation of the corrections (into the old material that was eventually delivered by the publishers) would make him a lot of trouble. The matter of the revised version and its exact title was broached on 18th October 1950 in a letter to Betty Bean.
Historical recordings: New York 31st March 1950 with Soulima Strawinsky (piano) and the RCA-Victor-Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Igor Strawinsky; New York 13th. May 1964 with Philippe Entremont (piano) and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Igor Strawinsky – After Strawinsky had ended his career as a pianist, his son Sviatoslav, who was then calling himself Soulima, took on this role, and Igor Strawinsky regarded his manner of playing with a critical eye. He judged the recording of the piano concerto of 1947 that Soulima had made with Ferdinand Oubradou (born 1903), to be good on the whole, but found the tempi to be rushed and that the balance among the woodwinds was not maintained, not to mention the poor quality of the vinyl recording from a technical perspective. The first movement in the Aeolian rolls at least was played very quickly. In 1950, Soulima made another vinyl recording, this time with his father conducting.
