The piano was fundamental to the modest operandi of Igor Stravinsky as a
composer, not least when he was writing orchestral scores. Touching the keys
gave him immediate contact with sound which he considered to be a vital part of
the creative process. This tactile element provided him with an opportunity to
feel sonorities and harmonies in addition to hearing them and the subtleties of
the instrument offered the possibility of fresh revelations at every
repositioning of his fingers. As Stravinsky’s works for orchestra began
life at the keyboard in this deft, exploratory way, it is not by chance that
several of them translate back inti piano music with conspicuous success.
