Influence of Commedia dell’Arte on Stravinsky’s Suite Italienne

Murasugi, Sachiho Cynthia

Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Suite Italienne for violin and piano (1934) by Stravinsky is a compelling and dynamic work that is heard in recitals and on recordings. It is based on Stravinsky’s music for Pulcinella (1920), a ballet named after a 16th century Neapolitan stock character. The purpose of this document is to examine, through the discussion of the history and characteristics of Commedia dell’Arte ways in which this theatre genre influenced Stravinsky’s choice of music and compositional techniques when writing Pulcinella and Suite Italienne. In conclusion the document proposes ways in which the violinist can incorporate the elements of Commedia dell’Arte that Stravinsky utilizes in order to give a convincing and stylistic performance.
