About Igor Stravinsky
Igor
Stravinsky, the modernist Russian composer, had a profound influence on
classical music with his musical innovations in such pieces as the
ballet The Rite of Spring, which shocked contemporary society with the newness of its sound. He was born on June 17,
1882 near St. Petersburg. After briefly considering law, he apprenticed
to composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. He was also a virtuosic pianist.
He continued composing and touring into his 80′s. He died on April 6,
1971.
