Igor Stravinsky

The Rite of Spring: This is one of Stravinsky's most famous works which caused a riot at its premiere due to its groundbreaking nature but has since become recognized as one of history's greatest musical masterpieces.

Neoclassicism (music): A style that gained popularity in the interwar period when composers sought to return to aesthetic precepts associated with "classicism," namely order, balance, clarity. Like how fashion trends come back around, so did classical music styles in Stravinsky's work.

Ballets Russes: An influential ballet company based in Paris that performed between 1909 and 1929 throughout Europe. Stravinsky composed for this company.
