June 16, 201213 yr Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone knows any of the orginial Baroque pieces that Stravinsky used for Pulcinella. So far I only know the Vivo used Pergolesi's Sinfonia a Tre for cello & basso continuo (final mvt.). Any links to videos/scores would also be appreciated. :)
June 17, 201213 yr Oh my god I had an obsession with finding the original pieces for a while. I wrote out a chart for myself with all the ones I could find: I. Overtura (after Gallo: Trio Sonata No. 1 in G, I. Moderato) II. Serenata (after Pergolesi: "Mentre l'erbetta" from Il Flaminio) III.a Scherzino (after Gallo: Trio Sonata No. 2 in B-flat, I. Presto) III.b Allegro (after Gallo: Trio Sonata No. 2 in B-flat, III. Presto) III.c Andantino (after Gallo: Trio Sonata No. 8 in E-flat, Movement I) XIV. Andantino (after Parisotti: "Se tu m'ami") XV. Toccata (after Monza: Suite I in E Major for Harpsichord, IV. Aria) XVI. Gavotta con due variazioni (after Monza: Suite III in D Major for Harpsichord, IV. Gavotta con sei variazioni) Many of these pieces are recorded on albums of early music that are available online. Note that my chart corresponds to the full ballet version of Pulcinella and not the orchestral suite.
