Five years later, he achieved international fame with his ballet scores \u003cem\u003eThe Firebird\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePetrushka\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Rite of Spring\u003c\/em\u003e, the last of which caused a riot at its Paris premiere in 1913. For the next 50 years, both Stravinsky's music style and his life were characterized by dramatic changes, as he moved from his \"Russian period\" to neo-classicism to serialism, and from Russia to Switzerland to France to the United States. Yet no matter how much his style changed, his music was always distinctively his, and his compositions remain among the greatest produced in the twentieth century. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eSimply Stravinsky\u003c\/em\u003e, Professor Pieter van den Toorn takes a fresh look at the composer and his legacy, providing a compact, exciting, and accessible introduction to the twentieth century's most celebrated composer and his timeless music. From Stravinsky's apprenticeship in St. Petersburg to his life among the émigré community in Southern California, Prof. van den Toorn shows how the composer's music was tied to his personality and how it came to influence artists from Aaron Copland to Philip Glass.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Designed for classical music beginners, as well as those who want to know more about one of the great musical innovators, \u003cem\u003eSimply Stravinsky\u003c\/em\u003e is an insightful and highly readable portrait of the man who helped define modern music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58250899554385,"sku":"9781943657322","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/jXQLDPEWP49781943657322.webp?v=1759384522","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/simply-stravinsky-paperback","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
