It was used in Lucia Chase's Bluebird ballet. CompositionThis arrangement was initially commissioned by Lucia Chase, the founding director of the Ballet Theatre, in January 1941. The commission consisted of a short arrangement of the four parts composing the No. 25, Pas de deux de l'Oiseau bleu et la Princesse Florine, in Act III of Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty. Though, initially, Tchaikovsky intended this to be a pas de quatre, Marius Petipa changed it in the original production, hence Stravinsky's title. This was Stravinsky's first commission as an expatriate in the United States. Stravinsky re-scored the piece in a few days and, according to fellow composer Robert Craft, he enjoyed his work.[1] Given the fact that only portions of the score had gotten to the United States by this time, and were only available in the form of piano reductions, this was a re-orchestration on the part of Stravinsky,[2] which is why it is often entitled a "re-scoring" by other Stravinsky experts.[1][3] This was not the first time Stravinsky orchestrated a segment from The Sleeping Beauty, as he also orchestrated a very brief solo variation in Act II (No. 15b) and the Entr'acte that opened the following scene (No. 18). On this occasion, the arrangement was composed as commissioned by Serge Diaghilev. However, in the case of Bluebird, Stravinsky had to adapt to the company's orchestra's condition, as it had been depleted by the military draft just months before the US involvement in World War II.[2][3] Bluebird Pas de Deux was eventually published by Schott Music and, later, by Chester Music.[7]StructureAs in the original, this short ballet consists of four movements: {{ordered list|list_style_type=upper-roman| Adagio | Variation I. Tempo di valse | Variation II. Andantino | Coda. Con moto }}Bluebird Pas de Deux is scored for a large ensemble consisting of a flute, an oboe, two clarinets, a bassoon, a French horn, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and a string section consisting of five violins, four violas, three cellos and two double basses.[4][5] As an original addition, Stravinsky did not actually reduce the orchestra, but rather chose to include a piano to provide a new element to help articulation and sonority.[1] According to Stravinsky himself, "the prominent piano part [...] helps to conceal the small number of strings" in Bluebird Pas de Deux.[2] RecordingsThis is one of the least published and performed pieces by Stravinsky.
