Igor
Stravinsky originally
wrote the Danses
concertantes for a
California-based
entertainment orchestra.
However, the five
movementsare more than
purely orchestral dances.
The piece is reminiscent
of a ballet suite. The
two marches at the
beginning and end mark
the entrance (prologue)
and departure (epilogue)
of the dancers, with two
of the middle movements -
'pas d'action' and 'pas
de deux' obviously
alluding to the ballet.
The arrangement for two
pianos by Ingolf Dahl is
not just a reduction of
the orchestral
writing,but deliberately
intended as an
independent concert
version.
