		Stravinsky was one of the most important composers of the 20th century, who arguably determined the course of music for the rest of the century more than any other composer.
		Stravinsky was born near St Petersburg, where his father, Fyodor Stravinsky, was the leading bass at the Imperial Opera.
		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.

		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).
		Stravinsky came from a musical family, although his training was limited, reflecting his family's desire that he pursue studies in law.
		Stravinsky then reverted to the task of finishing a short opera based on the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Nightingale, which he had started in 1908-09 but which had been interrupted by the commission of The Firebird.

		Stravinsky was born on June 17, 1882, in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov), the son of a leading bass singer at the imperial opera house in St Petersburg.
		In the mid-1920s Stravinsky underwent a spiritual crisis, and in 1926 he rejoined the Russian Orthodox Church (which he had left at the age of 18).
		Craft encouraged Stravinsky to listen to the music of the serialists, who treated atonal melody as a series of pitches without key-oriented harmonic or melodic relationships, and whose techniques had as a starting point the twelve-tone system of the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg.

		When it was finished, Stravinsky returned to Europe for the first time since 1939 and conducted the first performance of the work at the Teatro la Fenice in Venice.
		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.
		Craft's natural liking for serial music stimulated Stravinsky into examining carefully the music of the Austrian composer Anton von Webern and also some of the works of the Austrians Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg, with which he was not very familiar at that time.

		Stravinsky, Igor Fyodorovich (1882-1971), Russian American composer, one of the most influential figures of music in the 20th century.
		After about 1923, Stravinsky's neoclassical works began to appear, characterized by an interest in the forms of the 17th and 18th centuries.
		To continue in one path, in his words, was “to go backward.” Stravinsky's works both reflected and influenced the most important trends of 20th-century music.

	Stravinsky
		Music was only an avocation for Stravinsky until his meeting in 1902 with Rimsky-Korsakov, with whom he studied formally from 1907 to 1908.
		Stravinsky's First Symphony in E Flat Major (1907) is pervaded by the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov's nationalistic style.
		The work of Stravinsky interested the ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and Stravinsky's first strikingly original compositions—L'Oiseau de Feu (The Firebird, 1910) and Petrouchka (1911)—were written for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris.

	Stravinsky, Igor Fyodorovich
		Stravinsky was born June 17, 1882, in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov), the son of a leading bass singer at the imperial opera house in Saint Petersburg.
		There, partly because the difficult social and economic conditions during and after the war made it practically impossible to secure performances for large-scale works, he composed The Soldier's Tale (1918); it calls for limited resources: six instruments and percussion (representing the four sections of the orchestra), three actors, and a dancer.
		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).

	Igor Stravinsky
		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).
		It was during the composition of this work, in 1939, that Stravinsky moved to the USA, followed by Vera Sudeikina, whom he had loved since 1921 and who was to be his second wife (his first wife and his mother had both died earlier the same year).
		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.

		Stravinsky felt uncomfortable with the direction and almost immediately turned again, searching for a sparer music.
		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.

		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.
