Talk:Suite for Variety Orchestra No. 1

Untitled
How sure is it, that the Suite for Variety Orchestra and the Jazz Suite No. 2 are distinct works? All recordings known to me (,, and ) list the opus as Jazz-Suite No. 2. Maybe there is only two different names for the very same work? What is the source for this claim? BTW, I found a notice that first performance of the Suite was on 1 December 1988 in Barbican Hall, London, conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich. Would that have been the premiere of the variety-suite or the jazz-suite, then? -- FordPrefect42 12:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, found the answer myself - I guess http://www.schirmer.com/Default.aspx?TabId=2420&State_2874=2&workId_2874=33052 clears up the matter. -- FordPrefect42 12:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Here is a link to the Schirmer page concerning Suite for variety orchestra: http://www.schirmer.com/Default.aspx?TabId=2420&State_2874=2&workId_2874=33044 Why is the name Suite for variety stage orchestra in the article, when actually the name is without the "stage"?

 * Since the title is a translation from the Russian, how can you say the title "actually" is? --FordPrefect42 (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

If you follow the link, you will find that the translation made by the publisher is: Suite for Variety Orchestra no. 1. Therefore it is the official translation and should be used also here. And how can I say: this is not China you know... Käkki2 (talk) 05:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The links given above no longer work. It is now 14 years since the article was written and the terminology "Jazz Suite No.2" for this piece still seems to be pretty universal in the UK at least, and among various recordings. Therefore, I think that some rewriting of the content is necessary to explain this. Hyperman 42 (talk) 08:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

In the first sentence under "Movements" DSCH is cited; this abbreviation is not explained - please fill out. Bjprice1 (talk) 21:16, 20 May 2010 (UTC)bjprice1
 * DSCH = Dmitri Shostakovich, cf. DSCH motif. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 21:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Additional usage?
Isn't the Waltz no. 2 also used in a U.S. television commercial by the Lincoln automobile company, entitled "Olivia's Wish List," in 2017? 173.88.241.33 (talk) 06:59, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
