[edit] Riot?

At which performance of SoP was there a riot? Details? --Myke Cuthbert 05:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe you may be thinking of The Rite of Spring, which was premiered to what amounted to a riot. --S.dedalus 20:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2 Piano Arrangement

I have been told by my professor that their is a 2 piano arrangement/accompaniment of Symphony of Psalms. Do you know of this arrangement? I'm starting to plan for my M.M. recital and I would really like to do this piece. Of course, I can't afford to hire an orchestra! I was hoping to find this 2-piano arr. and add some important single instruments. Do you have any suggestions for this also? Thank you. --Heatherclausen (talk) 17:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Stravinsky's son Sviatoslav made a piano reduction of the symphony, which Edition Russe de Musique (Kousevitshy's firm) published in 1930. This may be the version to which your teacher is referring. Dmitri Shostakovich also made a piano reduction, which he played with his compostiion students at the Leningrad Conservatory. I don't know whether this version was ever published.
