Three Early Ballets (the Firebird, Petrushka, the Rite of Spring): Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 1978 Piano Solo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780793544257)

(Piano Collection). This edition brings together for the first time the three early ballets of Igor Stravinsky in versions for solo piano. Intended as both virtuoso performance pieces as well as study aids for musicians, they have been carefully proofread against the orchestral scores to insure that they agree in detail. Pretrushka contains all of the music in the original 1911 version, The Firebird is a transcription of the full-length 1910 ballet and The Rite of Spring is presented in a revised form of the well-known Leyetchkiss transcription.
