Igor Stravinsky Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Igor Stravinsky's father was a singer at the opera, and thus Stravinsky became a student of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov after a short stint as a law student. Very much influenced by Russian composers, only his sponsor Sergei Diaghilev in Paris was able to convince him to try new styles of ballet, e.g. "Le sacre du printemps".

| 1 | Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end. |
| 2 | I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust. |
| 3 | Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration. It is the Church's greatest ornament. |
| 4 | My childhood was a period of waiting for the moment when I could send everyone and everything connected with it to hell. |
| 5 | [George] Gershwin is supposed to have come to me in Paris and to have asked me how much I would charge to give him lessons. I am then supposed to have asked how much he earned, and after he had supposedly said $100,000 a year, my supposed reply was, 'Then I should take lessons from you'. A nice story, but I heard it about myself from Ravel before I met Gershwin. |
| 6 | Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal. |
| 7 | The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music. They should be taught to love it instead. |
| 8 | To listen is an effort and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also. |
| 9 | My music is best understood by children and animals. |
| 10 | Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa-Lobos? |
| 11 | I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Of the composers whose work was in the original Fantasia (1940), he was the only one living at the time. |
| 2 | His 1913 ballet,"Le Sacre du Printemps" (The Rite of Spring), caused the greatest single revolution in classical music since Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony in the early 1800s. It was a complete break from the Romanticism of the nineteenth century with its strange and dissonant rhythms and sounds. It was a fiasco upon its premiere, but began to win wide acceptance as a concert piece just a year later. |
| 3 | He is considered by many to the greatest composer of the 20th Century, largely on the strength of his ballet "The Rite of Spring". Stravinsky was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star, awarded for his work on radio, is located at 6340 Hollywood Blvd. He is the only classical composer to be so honored. |
| 4 | Was very much opposed to 12-tone writing, or serialism, early in his career, then turned to that style of composition in the 1950s. |
| 5 | Settled in the United States in 1939 after having become a French citizen in 1934. Became a U. S. citizen in 1946. |
| 6 | Recorded a number of his works with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in the 1960s, all of which he conducted. |
| 7 | Is generally regarded as the father of "modern" classical music; a riot ensued at the 1913 premiere of his ballet Le Sacre du Primtemps. |
