A wonderful piece, shamefully under-performed in the concert hall (it's very difficult!) always puts a smile on my face, along with Jeu de Cartes and Apollo.
Stravinsky has plenty of peers musically. Like hindemith, Bartok, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Roussel, Honegger and others:, all outstanding composers in their own right who didn't need [o recycle other composer's music the way Stravinsky did after his three early ballets.
@@remomazzetti8757 None of them in the same league as Stravinsky in my opinion. And the term 'recycling' grossly underestimates Stravinsky's range and achievement.
Don’t know about about the others (but yes, Bartok wrote a few great ones, and Shostakovich several very satisfying, intriguing and magnificent works), yet for ability to manipulate fundamental musical elements in unprecedentedly novel ingenious ways Igor S. remains without peer.
For me, there has only ever been two musical composers who truely warrant the term 'Great'; that's J.S.Bach and Stravinsky. Why I say that is because none except them have been so adept at mangling harmony up until the point of complete chaos, and then bringing it back from the abyss to some kind of cohesion. And they both could do so within just a few bars of minimal writing. Masterful.
hahaha! They loved to do dissonant variations. I do that too in my music. Just playing around with it. Shifting keys. Even playing the music backwards.
oh our beloved LvB and Mahler, and Mozart could wind up a few lines here and there, then that filthy Wagner guy who somehow made music,... gets confusing for me at that point as morality and art should be so distant but I do love Stravinsky, and Bach is the foundation of all western music

Chock full of marvelous musical inventions, the likes of which Stravinsky has no peer.

@@remomazzetti8757 Are you saying that Stravinsky was just the Quentin Tarantino of his time?

First Dance reminds me of Prokofiev's Classical Symphony.
They both loved dissonance. And so do I!
They both loved Haydn! 🙂 @@alexkije

I like the dissonance.
Incredibili ritmi, sorprendenti sopratutto quando si interrompono non dando l'accento tetico
