Symphonies d’instruments à vent

Dedicated to Claude Debussy. Stravinsky’s 1947 revisions streamlined the instrumentation and rebarred some sections, keeping the broader contours of the piece intact. The two versions cannot be used together. Stravinsky used the word “symphonies” in the title in the ancient Greek sense of instruments sounding together. This is a cornerstone piece of the repertoire whose concept has been replicated and imitated for nearly a century.
