Biographical / Historical
"The first concert suite, called 'Suite tirée du contre danse..." was made in 1911 and published by Jurgenson [1912]. The orchestration is more or less the same as in the ballet score. In fact, the score is printed from the same plates as the ballet score, occasionally with slight modifications to provide suitable endings for the movements." White p. 189.
