    The Career of Russian Composer Igor Stravinsky

    April 6th is the day we remember Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky, fifty years since his death. Stravinsky is
    one of the most influential composers of the 20th century who rose to fame in the 1900s for his
    compositions for the Ballet Russes, in particular the three performances titled The Firebird (1910),
    Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913). His music had a revolutionary impact both before and
    after World War One. Stravinsky’s works are classical in genre and known for their stylistic diversity. Igor
    began his musical career focusing on Russian aesthetics, as can be seen in the Symphonies of Wind
    Instruments, 1920. Igor moved away from the Russian aesthetics after his voluntary exile from Russia
    and aligned his music with a neoclassical style.
