| From his very earliest works in this genre, which belong to the lighter class of the ensemble divertimento, the composer's stupendous control of instrumental dialogue and formal equilibrium was already a distinctive feature. | 
| The divertimento is in five short movements, and humor, not abundant elsewhere on this disc, is in the forefront. | 
| Prokofiev fashioned a suite of six pieces resembling a classical divertimento, but one laced with dissonances, evoking Stravinsky's Octet. | 
| Some time after midnight we felt that we had had enough of divertimento. | 
| Been born from the love and the taste for beautiful and the divertimento, it is engaged in the supply of balloons, festoni augurs them, candles and all that that serves in a party and in any other occasion. | 
| I chose the title of divertimento for the second movement of my Suite, because it was the first which occurred to me. |
