Igor Stravinsky (Russian pre-reform: Игорь Ѳедоровичъ Стравинскій) (17th June 1882 – 6th April 1971) was a Russian composer who first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Serge Diaghilev and performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes (Russian Ballet): L'Oiseau de feu ("The Firebird") (1910), Petrushka (1911), and Le sacre du printemps ("The Rite of Spring") (1913). Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Igor+Stravinsky">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

• “As for myself, I need music for hygienic purposes, for the health of my soul. Without music in its best sense there is chaos. For my part, music is a force which gives reason to things, a force which creates organization, which attunes things. Music probably attended the creation of the universe.”
• “I was...attacked for being a pasticheur, chided for composing “simple” music, blamed for deserting “modernism,” accused of renouncing my “true Russian heritage.” People who had never heard of, or cared about, the originals cried “sacrilege”: “The classics are ours. Leave the classics alone.” To them all my answer was and is the same: You “respect,” but I love.”
• “My music is best understood by children and animals.”
• “One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.”
• “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.”
• “The phenomenon of music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the co-ordination between man [sic] and time.”
