Ballet for orchestra 2(II-picc).2(II=corA).2.2-4.2.3.1-timp.perc-harp-strings Goldschmidt's only ballet, which chronicles the rise and fall of a dictatorship, was commissioned by Kurt Jooss as a successor to The Green Table. The work toured widely following its premiere in 1938 in its original two-piano version. The composer's later orchestral version is suitable for a new choreography. The first recording of Chronica was recently released by CPO. |
