Today in History, Stravinsky's Rites of Spring premiered, leading to a class riot between the rich, in the expensive box seats, and the workingclass bohemians down below.
Today in Labor History May 29, 1913: Rioting broke out at the Paris premiere of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. The rioting occurred because of antagonism between the wealthy, in the box seats, who were offended by the “ugly, earthbound lurching” of the dancers and the strange avant-garde music, and the working-class Bohemians, who loved its mocking style and despised the elites in the boxes. However, some of the rioters threw objects at the orchestra, which tried to play on in spite of the disruption.

This is my interpretation of neoclassicism, or the anatomy thereof. With examples. All other models are wrong! See also my pastiche-o-meter. Been listening to a lot of neoclassical music lately. Too much, apparently. #infographic #neoclassicism #neoclassical #classicalmusic #renaissance #romanticism #baroque #stravinsky #ValentinSylvestrov #poulenc #DobrinkaTabakova @classicalmusic @music @composers

#Stravinsky getting all #FolkHorror (the ballet portrays a pagan celebration during which a virgin is sacrificed). Think The Wicker Man / Midsommar, but profoundly culture-changing. It allegedly caused a riot.
Stravinsky is one of those composers whose music seems to be tailor-made for my brain, as if it were coded and formatted specifically to work with my operating system.

#Stravinsky always looks like he's just spotted something, but when you look, there's nothing there, and he says 'Oh, you missed it; that's a shame; it was amazing. A once-in-a-lifetime thing. I guess I'm just special'
June 17, 1882, birthday of #Russian musician & composer Igor #Stravinsky.
#Disney's "Fantasia 2000" rendition of his "Firebird" as a volcanic Phoenix was clearly inspired by the eruption of St. Helens in 1980.
A short thread
#OTD 111 yeas ago, arguably the greatest musical scandal and riot took place.
Unlike shock rocker Alice Cooper’s 1980 cancellation in Toronto, this performance played till the end
(despite the orchestra drowned out by rioters).

1922: The year the #modern begin.
“On the 18th of May, 1922, the British translator and novelist Sidney Schiff hosted a dinner party at the Majestic Hotel in Paris. 40 guests were invited in all, but there were four guests in particular that Schiff wanted to bring together to generate dinner party chat. They were Igor #Stravinsky, Pablo #Picasso, James #Joyce, and Marcel #Proust”
