| | Igor Stravinsky is often considered something of a revolutionary, in part based on the riotous reception of his ballet The Rite of Spring (see separate article). | | | For the 1909 ballet season Stravinsky was invited to orchestrate various pieces of ballet music, including two piano numbers by Frédéric Chopin for Les Sylphides. | | | In the early postwar years, Stravinsky's ties with Diaghilev and Ballets Russes were renewed. |

| | Glass says Stravinsky is the most influential composer of the 20th century and a "theater composer par excellence." In 1913, Stravinsky ushered in a new musical era with his earth-shattering "Rite of Spring," which premiered at the Champs-Elysées Theater in Paris with the Ballet Russe. | | | Stravinsky said this work was influenced by American jazz sheet music, though at the time he had never actually heard jazz. | | | Stravinsky’s focus on the power of rhythm and his unique orchestration clearly established him as the first 20th century composer. |

| | MUSICMATCH Guide: Igor Stravinsky |
| | Igor Stravinsky was one of music's truly epochal innovators; no other composer of the twentieth century exerted such a pervasive influence or dominated his art in the way that Stravinsky did during his five-decade musical career. | | | Stravinsky's triad of early ballets -- The Firebird (1909-10), Petrushka (1910-11), and most importantly, The Rite of Spring (1911-13) -- did more to establish his reputation than any of his other works; indeed, the riot which followed the premiere of The Rite is one of the most notorious events in music history. | | | Stravinsky's cultural perspective was changed after Robert Craft became his musical assistant, handling rehearsals for Stravinsky, traveling with him, and later, co-authoring his memoirs. |

| | Stravinsky applied his imagination and the energetic rhythms of The Rite of Spring to the choral work Les Noces (The Wedding), a piece scored for only four pianos, percussion, and voices. | | | With his ballet The Rite of Spring in 1913, with its representations of prehistoric pagan Russian rituals and sacrifice, Stravinsky's music ignited the most famous riot in the history of music. | | | In the 1950s, Stravinsky shocked the musical world by turning to serialism and produced the twelve-tone ballet Agon and the choral work Canticum Sacrum, among others. |

| | Stravinsky was catapulted into the musical limelight with the composition of three ballets for the Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev in Paris: Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913). | | | Stravinsky's unpredictable individualism and originality precluded the formation of a school of composition, but the influence of his music has been widespread, ranging from Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitry Shostakovich to Darius Milhaud, Aaron Copland, and many others. | | | Stravinsky continued to compose ballets and collaborated with Balanchine on Jeu de cartes (1936), Orpheus (1947), and Agon (1957). |

| | Stravinsky prospers in other surroundings: in festivals, such as Lincoln Center’s and Carnegie’s this season; on recordings, where conductors such as Tilson Thomas and Riccardo Chailly have brought Stravinsky performance to a radiant level; and, most important, at the ballet, where his music is fleshed out by dancers. | | | Stravinsky’s new music and new rhetoric set off a feeding frenzy that exceeded even the fuss over the "Rite." A second stream of twentieth-century music—a kind of tonal modernism—flowed out from him, and single pieces of his inspired entire careers. | | | Perhaps Stravinsky later in life was seeking a substitute for Gury, with whom he survived the coldness of his father’s home. |

| | 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. |

| | Diaghilev first asked Stravinsky to orchestrate some piano pieces by Chopin as ballet music and then, in 1910, commissioned an original ballet, The Firebird, which was immensely successful. | | | "Stravinsky's extensive output includes compositions of almost every kind, for voices, instruments, and the stage; and his innovations in rhythm, harmony, and tone color had an enormous influence on twentieth-century music. | | | When his third ballet, The Rite of Spring, had its premiere in Paris in 1913, a riot erupted in the audience--spectators were shocked and outraged by its pagan primitivism, harsh dissonance, percussiveness, and pounding rhythms--but it too was recognized as a masterpiece and influenced composers all over the world. |

| | After the war, Stravinsky, like many of his contemporaries, felt music to be undergoing a post-Romantic crisis. | | | The mature Stravinsky's work is usually labeled 'neoclassic,' owing to its insistence on older forms and its arch references to earlier styles. | | | But while in this case the music holds the foreground, the young composer, who completed the last of them when he was just thirty-one, remains something of a cipher, all but effaced by his own older self. |

| | 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. |

| | In his invaluable, if occasionally self-contradictory dialogues with Robert Craft, Stravinsky has told us as much as we could possibly need to know about the various musical influences he was exposed to in these early years, both before and after Rimsky-Korsakov accepted him as a pupil and almost, one would gather, as a foster-son. | | | So far from changing it, Stravinsky throughout the central period of his career retained a remarkable constancy of style, but eagerly subjected new musical materials to it. | | | And just as Stravinsky was never really a tonal composer, so too he never really became a serialist, at least in the classical Schoenbergian sense. |

| | Stravinsky made an immediate impression in Paris with his score for L'oiseau de feu (The Firebird), for the Ballets Russes of Dyagilev. | | | A versatile composer, inventive in changing styles, he may be seen as the musical counterpart of the painter Picasso. | | | After works on a smaller scale in war-time, Stravinsky turned again to ballet for Dyagilev in Pulcinella, based on music wrongly attributed to Pergolesi. |

| | Since Stravinsky had sold the exclusive rights of "Les Noces" to Diaghilev for a three-year period beginning in 1920, he had to abandon his ideal instrumentation in favour of the final version for four pianos and percussion. | | | Pianolas were well-known in Russia before the revolution, but it seems likely that Stravinsky first became aware of their real musical potential in Berlin in late 1912, where he joined Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on tour, for the opening of "Petrushka" on 4 December. | | | During the 1920s, the firm of Pleyel, which was the major musical establishment in Paris, furnished Stravinsky with a studio in its headquarters in the rue Rochechouart. |
