Explore a selection of proof sheets for Igor Stravinsky’s L'Histoire du Soldat(The Soldiers Tale), heavily annotated by the composer himself. The process of correcting proof sheets allowed composers to correct or make changes to their sheet music before it was officially published and printed for broader distribution.
This exhibit, in the Brown Fine Arts Library, complements the Shepherd School Chamber Players’ performance on
Friday, January 31, 2025, 7:30pm, at Stude Concert Hall.
The L'Histoire du Soldat proof sheets are part of the Igor Stravinsky Archive (MS 0753).To see them for yourself, email woodson@rice.edu to set up an appointment!
