The Rite of Spring for Piano Four Hands

Stravinsky created a version of the orchestral score for piano four hands; it was in this form that the piece was first published and became audiences' primary introduction to the work. This reduction provides a practical opportunity for 2 pianists to perform the complete work.

The leading composer of his day, Igor Stravinsky experimented with virtually every technique of 20th-century music. Throughout his long and prolific career, he produced symphonies, concertos, choral works, operas, and ballets.
