Stravinsky's Petrouchka comes from a period in the composer's career during which he stressed Russian themes and styles in his music. This ballet suite uses the orchestra in some unique ways: Stravinsky occasionally makes the orchestra a vehicle for visual as well as aural effects: when the whole orchestra makes a tremolo, the players seem to shake together...
Main reason: Yale, with the Wai-pole and Boswell papers in its library, has already become a center for English studies. Mellon's collection, valued at over $35 million and including more than 1,000 oils, 3,000 drawings and 4,000 rare books, would provide the ideal visual complement.

In Zig VII, the over-all context of the piece, created by the individual parts, is planar and hence the flat discs tend to suggest two dimensional representation of perpective rather than a tangible volumetric depth...
