the request of jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, Milhaud arranged the piece for clarinet and orchestra (Op.165d, published 1941 by Éditions Salabert); Goodman premiered the arrangement in New York in 1941. Goodman was said to prefer the arrangement of Scaramouche over Milhaud's Concerto for Clarinet, which was written specifically for him. Other composers have arranged Scaramouche as well. Arrangements exist for wind band (Joseph Willcox Jenkins), violin and piano (Jascha Heifetz), saxophone and wind quintet (Don Stewart), guitar trio and a group of 12 saxophones. Notable performances On 1 July 1937, Scaramouche was premiered at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne by French pianists Marcelle Meyer and Ida Jankelevitch. A. Muhle premiered the arrangement for saxophone and orchestra in June of 1940 on Radio Paris. The arrangement for clarinet and orchestra was premiered in New York by Benny Goodman in 1941. Scaramouche was performed on 1 June 1943 at the École Normale de Musique de Paris by two French pianists. Due to the Nazi censorship of Milhaud's works it was necessary for the performance to not use his name. To circumvent this, the pianists used anagrams: Darius Milhaud became Hamid-al-Usurid and Scaramouche was changed to Mous Are-chac. Saxophonist Jess Gillam played the piece on the last night of the 2018 BBC Proms alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The performance was conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.
