The Firebird Suite (1919) — l’Ouiseau de Feu

Description

The 1919 version of Stavinsky’s Firebird Suite has become one of the most often performed works in the 20th Century classical repertoire. This all-new edition by Mark Rogers is a vast improvement over any other previously published version. It is the first completely redone modern engraving of the score and parts. Meticulous care has been taken in comparing it with all prior publications and correcting errors that have persisted for over 100 years. Many rehearsal numbers have been added in musically significant locations, allowing time to be utilized most efficiently by the conductor. In addition, clarinet and trumpet parts in B-flat have been added to allow this masterpiece to be more readily performed by amateur, student, and professional orchestras alike.
