Features: This book tells the legendary and turbulent life of the great Russian modern composer Igor Stravinsky, as well as his most famous ballets and operas. The author places the trajectory of Stravinsky's musical style against the backdrop of the great changes from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, making the book both professionally valuable and highly engaging with strong narrative and readability. Like the "warring master" of painting, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, for half a century, was not ultimately recognized as one of the great dawns of modern art, no matter how strong the criticism and ridicule he faced.
