Stravinsky wrote the Serenade in A of 1925 with a view to performing it himself. The impetus, though, came not from the concert platform but a recording contract with Brunswick, with each movement designed to fit snugly on one side of a ten-inch 78rpm disc. In the event Stravinsky did not record the Serenade until 1934 for the Columbia label. It is inspired by the Nachtmusik of the eighteenth century, suites which were commisioned for festive occasions. The opening Hymne was envisaged by the composer as being a 'solemn entry' before the 'ceremonial homage by the artist to the guests' depicted by the arioso style of the Romanza. The Rondoletto produces a brief survey of dance styles before the flourishes of the concluding Cadenza finale provide an 'ornate signature' to the work.
