Commissioned by Serge Diaghilev, the director of the Ballets Russes, this dazzling piece brought overnight success to its composer.

In this authoritative new edition of Stravinsky's dramatic masterpiece, Histoire du Soldat, the publishers have sought to rationalise all the various, and sometimes conflicting, amendments made by the composer during his life time. This edition is for all who have an interest in the great musical masterpieces of the twentieth century. To be read, played and danced in two parts. Scored for clarinet, bassoon, Ccrnet, trombone, violin, double bass and percussion.
Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, is equally celebrated as the composer of madrigals of great power and tortured complexity and as the murderer of his wife and her lover in flagrante delicto. His life and compositions are not unconnected. His neurotic sensibility found an ideal outlet in the mannerist tendencies of late Renaissance music, and his works are the most extreme examples of those tendencies. Watkins's extended study of Gesualdo's life and works was originally published in 1973. Alongside detailed analysis of Gesualdo's remarkable madrigals and of the few works in other genres, it contained much new biographical material, particularly on the latter part of the composer's life. This new edition has been extensively updated, and contains a new chapter covering the research of recent years. The preface to the first edition, by Igor Stravinsky is reprinted.
