Soulima Stravinsky Interview, 1983

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5s3IWmShHU

This documentary features Pulcinella, and multiple interviews with Soulima.

At around 16:00-17:00 Soulima describes Igor’s character a bit- he often appears stern, but was capable of equal parts Joie de vivre and biting criticism, but neither would last. This is an interesting expansion of Igor’s Urbana letter, as well as praise of the Sinfonietta.

19:00 discusses Igor’s Five easy pieces- originally played with Soulima, as well as Igor’s teaching methods (which are mirrored in Soulimas to an extent, as per the Husarik article).

This is a core item, as the five pieces would become Suite 1 for orchestra (I think both suites were played by Sinfonietta)

Did St. Paul Chamber Orchestra play any of these works in 1983 at KCPA?

26:30 Puppets and Pulcinella are discussed.

53:00 has a performance by Soulima of a few preludes in memorial of Igor.
