Samuel Dushkin (1891-1976), advisor, duo partner and friend of Igor Stravinsky, wrote several transcriptions for his instrument, the violin, of then well-known and popular melodies from works by Stravinsky, of course, but also by other composers such as Bizet, Rachmaninov, Albéniz and Wieniawski. The present collection is a compilation of arrangements by well-known and unknown composers: Exotically tinged melodies by Paul Kirman, R. Felber or Alexander Sasonoff are juxtaposed to a beguiling waltz by Max Reger, tone paintings in Mussorgsky's 'Ripples', George Gershwin's jazzy 'Short Story' and many others. The collection is not complete without a movement from Stravinsky's 'L'Oiseau de feu' and a Berceuse - spectacular music for the violin.
