Abstract Igro Stravinsky composed¡§Pulcinella¡¨ballet under the suggestion of Diaghilev in 1919. In this work, most of the melodies are based on Pergolesi as well as his contemporary composers, in addition to Stravinsky' unique features, such as dissonance intervals and unusual rhythmic patterns. The baroque concerto grosso form was used as a vehicle to describe his ideal of neo-classicism. The violin version of¡§Suite Italienne¡¨was composed in 1925. It's six sections: Introduzione¡B Serenata¡B Tarantella¡B Gavotta con due Variaziono¡B Scherzino¡B and Minuetto & Finale, were all selected from the ¡§Pulcinella¡¨. The current violin version was adapted by Dushkin in 1933. Besides the violin version, there are two other versions, one for cello and the other one for orchestra . In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, the main part of this thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter one is an overview of Stravinsky's background of music composition. The Ballet Russes's director Diaghilev and violinist Dushkin are also mentioned. Chapter two is a comparison of the two different versions between¡§Pulcinella¡¨and¡§Suite Italienne¡¨. The plot of¡§Pulcinella¡¨is also included. The last chapter is a technical analysis of violin playing as well as musical interpretation of ¡§Suite Italinne¡¨.
