>When Stravinsky wrote “The Rite of Spring,” he was so consumed by its lustful, primordial power that he mailed nude photos of himself to friends.

Stravinsky was Black
>>64611469
Yeah.....BLACK AND WHITE
LOL
what? i find that very odd. I will assume it's just internet bullshit.
a lot of artists are legit perverted creeps
bc of modern social norms and what not most ppl restrain themselves/keep shit on the dl a lot more but it still holds true
>>64611448
Stravinsky is the Jared Leto of western classical music
Debussy rubbed his feces on the piano keys to help him play lighter because he didnt want to touch them, creating an ethereal atmosphere in his music
Stravinsky is an overrated hack. Like every other Russian composer.
>>64611780
Best copypasta in the thread desu
>>64611448
Stravinsky is amazing, who else is like him?
>>64611773
I'm gonna give this a try.
>>64612076
Stravinsky was a one trick pony, just juxtaposing loud vs soft, syncopated with lyrical, haphazardly and without order.
When he realized he had no original talent, he went back to neoclassicism.
When he realized nobody wanted neoclassicism anymore, he made awful serialist music.
Stravinsky was a total hack.
>>64612203
he was also one of the most important composer of all time
>>64612254
For doing nothing new.
>>64612307
his jarring compositions were pretty new, he influenced Florent Schmitt directly, thats pretty important
>>64612203
no wonder dean blunt loves him
>>64612340
>he influenced Florent Schmitt directly
Florent Schmitt is just as unimportant as Stravinsky, you avant-teen moron.
Get a musical education. The timeline goes Debussy -> Schoenberg
That's it. Stravinsky and Schmitt have no play. They made stupid pieces based on basic techniques.
>>64612394
Dean Blunt likes him? I'm not surprised. You find all these fucking amateurs who say they like Stravinsky and then expect to be taken more seriously, just because they heard the Rite of Spring.
>>64612435
Based classical anon, I like Rite of Spring, which piece by Stravinsky should I listen to next?

The Firebird and Petrushka are Stravinsky essentials. Try those next, pleb.

>doesn't know who Florent Schmitt is
He's literally the beginning of the bridge between the movement classical music to a more popular setting, he's one of the 10 most important people in the history of music.

meanwhile, Scheonberg is basically errelevant when it comes to music outside of a small window of academia
>>64613227

>>64613227

>academic music
>relevant to today's society
that was my point, Florent Schmitt actually moved music to its modern form, Schoenberg moved music to um, its modern form in academia...whoopie
>>64611448

where did you get your education again?

How could he have sent photos of himself when cameras didn't exist in his time?
>>64613037
Sacrificial Dance.
>>64614345
Classic academic. Whats wrong? You exited the circle jerk that was the pretentious school you attended and you can't connect with the real world? You're starting to see all those theories are nothing but bullshit?
There's a reason why art scholars only stay confined in there. It's because they're highly useless people who can't function outside of college. You should return, you'll be happier there telling lies to the kids that arrive every year.
