| Stravinsky, Igor (1882 Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg -1971 New York City) | Genious composer particularly renowned for such ballet scores as The Firebird (performed 1910), Petrushka (1911), The Rite of Spring (1913), and Orpheus (1947). Stravinsky's special contribution to music in the 20th century was wide and varied. He never seemed to start a composition with preconceived ideas but always examined his raw material with a fresh and critical ear. He was not prepared to accept established practice about development but preferred to subject his musical material to a personal system of tests. This had particularly interesting results whenever time, metre, and dynamics were concerned. | Igor
