Howells
wrote Penguinski for a
visit made to the Royal
College of Music in
London on 10 May 1933.
This score pays light and
affectionate tribute to
the considerable
popularity of Stravinksy
in London from the teens
of the twentieth century.
In Penguinski Howells
creates a knockabout
piece which shadowboxes
Petrushka. Whilst
underlining Howells's
versatility, the score
gives a colourful insight
into the prevailing
influences of the time,
and is an intriguing
example of how Stravinsky
must have sounded to his
English
contemporaries.
