Jeux D'Enfants, Wd 56 - Study Score

In 1873, Bizet arranged five movements from his 1871 suite for piano duet for a new series of orchestral concerts organized by the publisher Georges Hartmann and the conductor Edouard Colonne at the Odeon Theatre in Paris. The premiere took place there on March 2nd of that year and the "Petite suite d'orchestre" entered the repertoire soon afterwards. This newly engraved score has been carefully edited by Richard Sargeant from the first edition and other primary sources. Printed in a very convenient, highly readable format, the new edition will be welcomed by orchestral musicians and Bizet fans worldwide.
