| | Igor Stravinsky: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
 | | Stravinsky and Pablo Picasso collaborated on Pulcinella in 1920. | | | Stravinsky may have been preceded in these devices by earlier composers such as Erik Satie, but no doubt when Copland was composing his Appalachian Spring ballet he was taking Stravinsky as his model. | | | Stravinsky also achieved fame as a pianist and conductor, often at the premieres of his own works. |

| | Stravinsky had meanwhile met the conductor Robert Craft and under his influence turned towards the serial music of the Second Viennese School. | | | From 1914 Stravinsky became as well known in London as in Paris, and in 1925 made his first tour of the USA. | | | A meeting with W H Auden led to the peak of Stravinsky's neoclassical music, the opera The Rake's Progress which was premiered at Venice in 1951 and inspired by a William Hogarth painting of the same name. |

| | Stravinsky took his family and moved to Switzerland, hoping the neutrality of the country would be of benefit to his progress as an artist. | | | Stravinsky's name was already well known in America, and as a result decided to move to the USA to continue his art. | | | A perfect example of Stravinsky’s contribution to the artistic identity of Russia and the people slow but eventual acclamation to his art is the response to his famous work The Rite of Spring. |

| | This was a particularly important moment in Stravinsky's musical development because after the composition of The Rake's Progress he felt he had outgrown "the special incubator" in which the works of his neoclassical period had gestated. | | | For the 1909 ballet season Stravinsky was invited to orchestrate various peaces of ballet music, including two piano numbers by Frédéric Chopin for Les Sylphides. | | | The only new ballet commissioned by Diaghilev from Stravinsky was Pulcinella (1920), the score of which consisted of music by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi that was arranged by Stravinsky and adapted to a Neapolitan commedia dell'arte scenario. |

| | Gradually Stravinsky drew more and more on serial techniques—integrating them into his own approach, as he had done with every previous musical influence—in works such as the cantata Threni (1958), the Movements for Piano and Orchestra (1959), and his last major work, the Requiem Canticles (1966). | | | Although Stravinsky had earlier rejected Schoenberg's theories, he became interested in the music of Schoenberg's disciple, the Austrian composer Anton Webern. | | | During his lifetime, Stravinsky used many musical styles—a coloristic, Russian-influenced style, primitivism, jazz, neoclassicism, bitonality (simultaneous use of two keys), atonality, and serialism. |

| | Igor Stravinsky was the son of the principal basso of St Petersburg's famed imperial opera house, the Mariinsky. | | | In 1910 Stravinsky had his first success with L'oiseau de feu (The Firebird), a score commissioned for the Russian Ballet in Paris by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev; the work was striking for the originality of its rhythm, harmony and instrumentation. | | | The 1911 premiere in Paris of Petrouchka, another ballet commissioned by Diaghilev, strengthened Stravinsky's reputation, but it was the revolutionary Le sacre du printemps (Rite of Spring) - the third of his Russian Ballet scores, first performed in 1913 - that decisively changed the course of music history. |

| | Stravinsky went with the company to Paris in 1910 and spent much of his time in France from then onwards, continuing his association with Dyagilev in Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913). | | | Early in its composition, in 1948, Stravinsky met Robert Craft, who soon became a member of his household and whose enthusiasm for Schönberg and Webern (as well as Stravinsky) probably helped make possible the gradual achievement of a highly personal serial style after The Rake. | | | Partly this was a result of World War I, which disrupted the activities of the Ballets Russes and caused Stravinsky to seek refuge in Switzerland. |

| | Stravinsky wrote music with the craft of a fine jeweler. | | | He turned to serialism and became strongly influenced by the manner of Anton Webern, although he never lost his personal musical imprint. | | | In all these scores, he introduces a pared-down aesthetic and what at first seems like an element of parody but which turns out to be an element of "objectification," like a Cubist collage with everyday objects. |
