This text is taken and slightly modified from a piece I wrote for an EPR CD. The copyright is mine. Raniero Tazzi — The preceding comment was added by Ranierotazzi (talk · contribs) 01:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

E. Lee Fairley Stravinsky's "Petrouchka"[edit]

This book has no year given, no page numbers cited, and the publisher given publishes scores not books. I believe that it is unverified and unverifiable. Hyacinth (talk) 05:05, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it had been established that E. Lee Fairley is the editor of an edition of the Three Movements, and the references are meant to be to the preface in this edition. Still, the misleading form is still in place.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ach! I was right, but the information was posted to my Talk page instead of here.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

English title?[edit]

In English, isn't this virtually always known as "Three Movements from Petrushka"? Why do we favour the French title? -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 11:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, it is best known by its French title—at least in America. The Library of Congress Uniform Title system, however, avoids starting titles with numbers, so that most American library catalogs list is as Mouvements de Pétrouchka (there should be an acute accent in there).—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It may not signify, but "Three Movements from Petrushka" gets 84,800 ghits, compared to 25,700 for "Trois mouvements de Petrouchka". -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 19:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And 163,000 for just "Mouvements de Pétrouchka". Aren't stastistics wonderful?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:09, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, it may not sigfnify. :) -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 11:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
