Igor Stravinsky finished this composition as he heard the guns go - TopicsExpress



          

Igor Stravinsky finished this composition as he heard the guns go silent from his then home in Lusanne , Switzerland on 11/11/18. He heard the strange silence and thought he was a little touched (like R. Schumann) His only contact with ragtime or jazz for that matter had been through sheet music, so that accounts why this piece really doesnt swing. But oozes euro charm particularly with the Cembalon, definitely not a jazz axe but perfect for a Bavarian putsch in a few years.....worth a listen, but button your collar. https://youtube/watch?v=90dnOZZVicQ
