Stravinsky L'Histoire du Soldat 

Stravinsky's well-known suite for chamber ensemble, speaker, and dancer is here transformed into a trio for three players. It was written shortly after World War I - the composer  imagined a situation in which eight  instrumentalists, three actors, and a dancer might travel from village to village giving performances after the war's devastation. The "story," about a soldier who sold his violin (his soul) to the Devil, was concocted by  conflating several different folk tales.
In this shorter version, the witty modern parodies of marches, waltzes, a ragtime and a tango  conjure up an early 20th century world of spiky, jazzy dissonance and toungue-in-cheek musical fury.
