Divertimento for Chamber Orchestra after Keyboard Pieces by Couperin

86 (German: Divertimento aus Klavierstücken von François Couperin für kleines Orchester) is an orchestral suite composed by Richard Strauss published in 1942 which consists of eight movements, each one based on a selection of pieces from François Couperin's Pièces de Clavecin written for the solo harpsichord over the period 1713 to 1730.

The bulk of the divertimento was written to complement the earlier 1923 Dance Suite after Keyboard Pieces by Couperin for a ballet Verklungene Feste: Tanzvisionen aus zwei Jahrhunderten (Bygone Celebrations: Dance Visions from Two Centuries) premiered in Munich on May 20, 1941.

The divertimento was then published in 1942 with two additional movements (III and VIII) as an orchestral suite and given an opus number.

Apart from generally filling in the textures with new and often elaborate counterpoints, the emphasis is still on abridging the original simple binary pieces by the omission of repeats or by lopping off the closing bars in favor of newly devised and extended codas".

In the table, the first column gives the number of the movement in the Strauss Divertimento (Roman numeral).

There was also a recording by Clemens Krauss taken from a live radio broadcast issued on the Amadeo label in 1988 which is no longer available.

The ballet Verklungene Feste: Tanzvisionen aus zwei Jahrhunderten for which the music from the divertimento was written was the idea of Clemens Krauss, the director of the Munich opera (1937–43).
