Narrative:
At FL370 speed reduced for chop. During power reduction (auto throttles on) no. 1 engine began to compressor stall. As per QRH; I disengaged auto throttles and pulled engine back to stop the stall. First officer immediately asked for lower. Speed started to decay; so I began descent prior to receiving a clearance for lower altitude. There was no traffic in the vicinity according to TCAS. Leveled at FL330 and engine continued normal operation. Used 'engine limit or surge or stall' procedure in QRH. Engine ran normally; so we continued to destination.
