Article · Français

Igor Fiodorovitch Stravinsky (en russe : Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский), né le 17 juin 1882 à Oranienbaum en Russie et mort le 6 avril 1971 à New York aux États-Unis, est un compositeur, chef d'orchestre et pianiste russe (naturalisé français en 1934, puis américain en 1945) de musique moderne, considéré comme l'un des compositeurs les plus influents du XXe siècle. L'œuvre de Stravinsky s'étend sur près de soixante-dix années. Elle se caractérise par sa grande diversité de styles. Le compositeur accède à la célébrité par la création de trois ballets dont il compose la musique pour les Ballets russes de Diaghilev : L'Oiseau de feu (1910), Petrouchka (1911) et son œuvre maîtresse Le Sacre du printemps (1913) qui ont eu une influence considérable sur la façon d'aborder le rythme en musique classique. Dans les années 1920, sa production musicale prend un virage néoclassique et renoue avec des formes traditionnelles (concerto grosso, fugue et symphonie). Dans les années 1950, enfin, Igor Stravinsky explore les possibilités de la musique sérielle.
