Stravinsky didn't write two suites, he wrote the Ballet version first, which is the large orchestra version including Eb and bass clarinet and than he wrote the Suite which is shorter with a reduced orchestra, only two regular clarinet. That way he not only made money on having it performed more often but could get a "new" copyright on it. He did the same thing with a few other major works as well, very clever man. ESP
