Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky Russian citizens is one of the international composers that started from the two main types of contemporary music. Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (Russian: Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский) (17 June 1882-6 April 1971) was a musician berkebangsaan Russia. He is a musician who became famous in TIME magazine. He is a musician who has a hobby of change-change the beat when exploit elements of rhythm. Igor Stravinsky studied with Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and the early work, such as Symphony No. 1 in E Flat, show and have a high expertise in the field of music. Igor Stravinsky inclined towards music from the French impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, while on the other hand he still retains nationalist attitudes. The Faun and the Shepherdess, and the major ballet Firebird. Elements to enter the new music mix - clean orchestral textures, "bright" instrumentation, and an emphasis on stamping, irregular rhythms - heard especially in the Firebird's "Dance of the demon king Katschei."

Firebird success led to two ballets for Diaghilev's Ballets russes: Pétrouchka and Le Sacre du Printemps, both landmarks of twentieth-century music. Russian element becomes less Romantic and more "objectified." By Le Sacre, the "infernal" element Firebird has erupted into previously-unheard, epic "barbarism," so much so that some spectators rioted at the Paris premiere. Score music icons into modernism and influenced many other modern giants, including Serge Prokofieff (Symphony Nos 2 and 3, scythian Suite, and They Are Seven), Béla Bartók (Allegro barbaro, The Miraculous Mandarin, the piano sonata, and Cantata profana), Darius Milhaud (Les Choephores), Arthur Honegger (Mouvements symphoniques), and the young Aaron Copland (Grohg). Stravinsky felt uncomfortable with the direction and back again, searching for music sparer. Works in this transitional period include Symphonies for Wind Instruments and part of the opera Le Rossignol.

At the end of World War I moved Stravinsky music even further in this direction with L'Histoire du Soldat, Tango, and Ragtime. In all, he introduced a pared-down aesthetic and what at first seems like an element of parody, but it turns out to be the element of "objectification", such as Cubist collage with everyday objects. At the same time, he became interested in classical and update procedures to expand their harmonic language. Masterpieces include octet, the "ballet with song" Pulcinella, and oedipus Rex, which took off from Handelian oratorio. The new style, neoclassicism term, re-capturing the most allegiance composers. Stravinsky, as Leonard Bernstein remarked, called the tune again. Between the two wars, he was probably the most influential modern composers, especially in the United States and France. His masterpieces include pianofortes Concerto for two solo, the piano and violin concerti, the ballets Apollo and jeu de Cartes, Concerto in D for strings, Danses Concertantes, Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, Symphony of Psalms, Symphony in Three Movements, Symphony in C, Ebony Concerto, Mass, climaxing in length opera The Rake's Progress (libretto by WH Auden and Chester Kallman), a twentieth-century classic.

After The Rake's Progress, Stravinsky felt he had reached a creative impasse with the neoclassic style. He turned to serialism and became very influenced by the way that Anton Webern, although he did not lose the personal music print. Including major work for piano and Movement orchestra, The Dove Descending Breaks Water for chorus, Cantata, In Memoriam Dylan Thomas, Three Shakespeare Songs, Threni, Introit, and the requiem Canticles.

Stravinsky wrote the music with the craft of a fine jeweler. Almost all her writing is a very high quality, and many who have entered the standard repertoire. ~ Steve Schwartz
