You don’t like Petroushka? It’s delightful. Stravinsky went all neo-classical in his late 30s. Nothing remotely clangorous. Kind of dull though.

I’ve tried the piano transcription of it once or twice.

Its a showpiece, but doesn’t like under my hands well.

Besides, the only pianist who ever does it justice consistently is Alekhsandr Toradze.
