Features: This book tells the legendary and tumultuous 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 changes against the backdrop of the great upheavals from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, making this book both professionally valuable and highly engaging with strong narrative and readability. Igor Stravinsky, like the "warring" master Pablo Picasso in the field of painting, was not recognized as one of the great dawns of modern art for half a century, despite intense criticism and ridicule.
