		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.

	Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Prince Igor: Stravinsky
		Stravinsky first sketched that passage, "Augurs of Spring," in the summer of 1911, in the Polish-Russian countryside, and finished it in a rented room in the Swiss village of Clarens.
		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.
		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.

	The Musical Times: Igor Stravinsky 1882-1971
		In Stravinsky’s earliest surviving music there is a fairly clear split between the ‘Russian’ style of the Symphony in E flat, and the more sophisticated, Paris-oriented language of the Scherzo fantastique and, still more, Fireworks.
		For Stravinsky himself, classicism meant not mannerisms but the re-establishment of the classical virtues of lucidity and order in face of the ever-present threat of formlessness and chaos – represented for him by Wagner and the expressionism to which he saw Wagner’s music-drama as inevitably leading.
		Stravinsky’s relationship to his musical materials – proclaimed by himself and confirmed by the evidence of those who knew him – was always first and foremost a physical one, a matter of almost uncontrollable appetite.

		Stravinsky’s relations with his various publishers would make a fitting subject for a long-running TV soap opera, complete with courtroom dramas, emotional farewells, some embarrassing contractual wrangles, and of course background music based on the ‘Ronde des princesses’ in The Firebird.
		Originally conceived in 1910 (one of its inspirations, according to the composer, was the bells of St. Paul’s Cathedral), it belongs in essence to the ethnic ritual strain of Petrushka and The Rite of Spring.
		Finally there is the special case of the 1919 Firebird Suite, which Stravinsky arranged for a more manageable orchestra than the vast array of the original ballet and the 1911 Suite, at the same time fixing on a new sequence of pieces ending with the final scene of the ballet instead of the ‘Infernal Dance’.

	On the Rhythm of Igor Stravinsky's Great 'The Rite of Spring'
		Technically this is what Stravinsky does: he begins with a series of identical chords in the strings--32 chords in all--moving in a strict and steady rhythm of eighth notes.
		What Stravinsky does here, making sure that no great or jarring differences of strong and weak are heard in the sounds, is deeply akin to how rhythm is in the Gregorian Chant, and may have been influenced by it.
		Stravinsky was one of the most consciously philosophic of composers, and there is a statement of his, from his book, The Poetics of Music, that is beautiful.

		A year later (1911), Stravinsky's second ballet, Petrushka, was performed, and Stravinsky was hailed as a modern master.
		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.
		"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.

		Stravinsky began studying with the famous Russian composer in 1903, and after Rimsky's death in 1908, never had another teacher.
		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.
		In 1920, Stravinsky settled in Paris, and entered a period of neo-classicism, in which he composed music modeled on the styles and forms, if not the melodies and harmonies, of Mozart and Haydn.
