Two Sketches for a Sonata

(

• ... that despite being unfinished, Igor Stravinsky's Two Sketches for a Sonata has been called a "perfectly formed composition" worthy of being included in the canon of his works? Source: "The only new music composed after ['The Owl and the Pussy-cat'] is the Two Études for a Piano Sonata, which, though short, is a perfectly formed composition, and should be considered as part of the Stravinsky canon." (in Down a Path of Wonder: Memoirs of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and other cultural figures by Robert Craft, p. 186)
  • ALT1: ... that Igor Stravinsky's unfinished Two Sketches for a Sonata has been called a "poignant summing-up of a life's work"? Source: "Fragments they may be, but these Two Sketches have their own understated beauty, a poignant summing-up of a life’s work." (in the Preface by Jonathan Cross to the score of Stravinsky's Two Sketches for a Sonata, p. 1)

Created by CurryTime7-24 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Two Sketches for a Sonata; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is new and long enough, adequately sourced, no obvious copyvios. Have to AGF as the source is offline, but interesting we didn't have an article about this Stravinsky piece, so worth including for DYK. Provisional pass pending QPQ. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:12, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
