Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer whose work revolutionized musical thought and sensibility in the 20th century. His fame rests on a few works, notably The Rite of Spring (1913), wherein he presented a new concept of music involving constantly changing rhythms and metric imbalances, a brilliantly original orchestration, and drastically dissonant harmonies.
