Stravinsky’s music for violin and piano was written for his duo with violinist Samuel Dushkin. Both the Suite italienne and Divertimento are arrangements of ballet scores, each work in turn an alchemic transformation of Baroque and Romantic styles into Stravinsky’s distinctive idiom.

The enigmatic but unwaveringly expressive Duo Concertant was Stravinsky’s only original work in this form.
