Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was a Russian-born composer who is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. He had a long and varied career, and his music went through several distinct stylistic periods. The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du printemps) is perhaps Stravinsky's most famous work, this ballet caused a scandal at its premiere due to its dissonant and rhythmically complex music. Stravinsky's ballet compositions are among his most celebrated works in addition to "The Firebird," "Petrushka," and "The Rite of Spring." His later compositions include "The Rake's Progress" and "Agon."
