Sally Kindberg’s brilliant illustration of Stravinsky’s ‘Little Tich’ instrument somersault. From her notebook page drawn at the Kreutzer Quartet Concert at the National Portrait Gallery 14th March 1014 http://www.sallykindberg.co.uk/notebook/about-artist-and-author-sally-kindberg/
Now, this is wonderful. We have been talking about Stravinsky’s notation of Little Tich’s somersault in his ‘Big Shoe Dance’ in the brilliant ‘Three Pieces for String Quartet’ of 1914. And on her lovely notebook blog, artist/author Sally Kindberg reveals all! And a lovely document of the concert.
