The Symphony in C is an orchestral work by Russian expatriate composer Igor Stravinsky. The Symphony was written between 1938 and 1940 on a commission from American philanthropist Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss. It was a turbulent period of the composer's life, marked by illness and deaths in his immediate family. In 1937, Stravinsky was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which had already forced his wife and two daughters to a sanatorium in Switzerland. Stravinsky's daughter Ludmilla and wife Catherine died of their illnesses in November 1938 and March 1939, respectively, followed by Stravinsky's own quarantine and the death of his mother Anna in June 1939. He also suffered a cerebral thrombosis while conducting the symphony at a 1956 concert in Berlin, Germany.

  • La Simfonia en do d'Ígor Stravinski va ser composta entre 1939 i 1940, durant un període particularment turbulent de la vida del compositor. Es trobava encara de dol per les mort de la seua filla l'any 1938 de tuberculosi, la seua muller al març de 1939 i la de sa mare al juny del mateix any. La Segona Guerra Mundial el va obligar a deixar París, on havia començat a treballar en la simfonia i va embarcar-se en un segon exili cap als Estats Units d'Amèrica. Va concloure els dos darrers moviments a Beverly Hills. L'estil de la simfonia és representatiu del seu període neoclàssic que havia començat amb la composició de l' i del ballet Pulcinella. Tot i presentar una estructura estàndard en quatre moviments, l'obra presenta canvis abruptes entre les seccions, com en les obres més avantguardistes de l'autor. Ha estat descrita com un "retrat cubista", com si els diferents fragments, situats en el lloc correcte, foren observats des de diferents angles. Stravinski mantenia que els moviments compostos a França - els dos primers - eren més clàssics. Consta de quatre moviments i té una durada de prop de 30 minuts: * Moderato alla breve * Larghetto concertante * Allegretto * Largo – Tempo giusto alla breve Va ser estrenada per l'Orquestra Simfònica de Chicago el 7 de novembre de 1940, dirigida pel mateix Stravinski.

  • La Symphonie en ut a été écrite par Igor Stravinsky en 1939-1940. Elle naît à une période particulièrement tourmentée pour le musicien puisque meurent successivement sa fille Ludmilla, sa femme Catherine et enfin sa mère. Un séjour familial entre 1935 et 1939 est relaté au sanatorium de Sancellemoz où le compositeur écrit le deuxième mouvement de sa symphonie. Il quitte alors Paris pour rejoindre New York début 1940, puis Beverly Hills, où il achève les deux derniers mouvements. L'œuvre est représentative de sa période « néo-classique » dont l'archétype reste son Pulcinella. Elle fut interprétée pour la première fois le 7 novembre 1940 par l'Orchestre symphonique de Chicago sous la direction de son compositeur. (fr)
  • The Symphony in C is an orchestral work by Russian expatriate composer Igor Stravinsky. The Symphony was written between 1938 and 1940 on a commission from American philanthropist Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss. It was a turbulent period of the composer's life, marked by illness and deaths in his immediate family. In 1937, Stravinsky was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which had already forced his wife and two daughters to a sanatorium in Switzerland. Stravinsky's daughter Ludmilla and wife Catherine died of their illnesses in November 1938 and March 1939, respectively, followed by Stravinsky's own quarantine and the death of his mother Anna in June 1939. He also suffered a cerebral thrombosis while conducting the symphony at a 1956 concert in Berlin, Germany. Stravinsky was still mourning the deaths of his family members when World War II forced him to leave Europe. He had written the symphony's first two movements in France and Switzerland. Stravinsky wrote the third movement in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the fourth movement in Hollywood, after his emigration to the United States. The symphony was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Stravinsky on November 7, 1940. The Symphony in C is representative of Stravinsky's neoclassical period, which had been launched by his ballet Pulcinella (1919–20), the opera Mavra (1921–22), and Octet for winds (1922–23). The symphony has a traditional, four-movement structure and lasts approximately 30 minutes: 1. * Moderato alla breve (about 9 minutes) 2. * Larghetto concertante (about 6 minutes) 3. * Allegretto (about 5 minutes) 4. * Largo; Tempo giusto, alla breve (about 7 minutes) The Symphony in C is entirely abstract and seems a retreat into the "pure music" styles of Bach, Beethoven, and Haydn. Stravinsky disclaimed any link between his personal experiences and the symphony's content. Regarding its style, Stravinsky acknowledged a division of the symphony into halves. The first two movements, composed in Europe, use more traditional rhythmic patterns and harmonizations. The last two movements use frequent modulations of rhythm and are much more chromatic. Stravinsky's misfortunes apart, the Symphony in C had been infrequently performed in the composer's lifetime; Stravinsky noted that for several years he was the only person conducting the work. The work was choreographed by Martha Graham in the late 1980s. She named the result "Persephone" in ironic reference to another major work by Stravinsky. Although Graham choreographed all four movements, only the three-movement version was performed on stage. (en)
