The concert version also features four speaking parts, those of the Devil, the Soldier, a Princess and an unseen Reader. The Devil and Princess are also required to dance. The part calls for cornet in A and Bb.
I would say most people prefer to play this on C trumpet however there are quite a few great performances on cornet. The story is a dark Faustian fable about a deserting soldier and the Devil who eventually possesses his soul. The story is based on an old Russian folk tale but the music is as far removed from Russian traditionalism as possible, making it a lesson for all cultures and times.
Stravinsky uses tango rhythms, marches, a waltz and a chorale, never faithfully but more as an artisan uses tools to fashion something new.
The Devil celebrates his victory. As the work opens, Joseph, a Russian soldier, marches toward his hometown on leave , pack in tow.
L'Histoire du soldat (The Soldier's Tale) is a theatrical work "to be read, played, and danced" The devil arrives disguised as an old female peddler. He takes. A year and a day after his last run Soldier's Tale contested a six-furlong handicap race at York in which he was.
First he takes out his lucky St. Joseph medallion, then a mirror, then a photograph of his girlfriend. Finally, he finds what he was searching for: He begins to play. The devil sneaks up on Joseph from behind and startles him.
The devil asks Joseph to sell him his fiddle, and when Joseph refuses, he offers him a book that he says contains untold wealth. Joseph then realizes the book contains events that happen in the future! The devil offers to take Joseph home for three days to teach him about the book if Joseph will teach him about the fiddle.
After the devil describes the life of luxury he lives, Joseph accepts. After three days pass, the devil takes Joseph home. As Joseph walks the path towards his town, he notices something strange: Soldier's Tale's dam Myrtle showed above-average ability in a brief racing career, winning a maiden race and finishing third in the Princess Margaret Stakes.
He was named after Igor Stravinsky 's theatrical work L'Histoire du soldat. Soldier's Tale did not race as a two-year-old, beginning hi racing career as a three-year-old in when he was ridden in both of his races by Eddie Ahern. After being restrained by Ahearn in the early stages he finished strongly but failed by a head to overhaul the Barry Hills -trained Fun To Ride with a gap of seven lengths back to Majorca in third.
After trackig the leaders he took the lead approaching the final furlong and drew clear to win by five lengths from the filly Capestar with another nine lengths back to New Order in third.
A year and a day after his last run Soldier's Tale contested a six-furlong handicap race at York in which he was assigned a weight of pounds and was ridden by Jamie Spencer. After being held up towards the rear of the field he made a strong run on the stands-side the right side of the course from the jockeys' viewpoint in the last quarter mile, catching the leader Fonthill Road in the final stride and winning by a short head. After tracking the leaders Soldier's Tale took the lead inside the final furlong and won "comfortably" by half a length from Quito.
Ridden by Spencer, he raced up the stand-side and chased the leaders before running on in the closing stages to finish fourth behind Pastoral Pursuits , Avonbridge and Etlaala. Injury and health problems then kept Soldier's Tale of the racecourse for almost two years. Noseda later explained that at one point in the horse was ten minutes away from being euthanised.
