Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)
Bio
Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky was born in Oranienbaum, west of Saint Petersburg. He eventually became an ex-patriot Soviet in France and the United States. He studied under Rimsky-Korsakov and like many of his contemporaries was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev to compose. He went through several distinct phases and pushed 20th-century theory into what is now known as modernism.
