Richard Taruskin has noted that the third section, the "Allegretto", is an arrangement of the Russian folk melody "Kamarinskaya".[1]
Stravinsky made a recording of Les cinq doigts for Brunswick Records as part of his first recording contract, signed in 1925.[2]
In 1962, the composer orchestrated the pieces, adding a few counter-melodies and imitations, yielding the chamber work, Eight Miniatures for Fifteen Players.
