His groundbreaking compositions, particularly "The Rite of Spring," sparked controversy and ignited the modernist movement in music, forever changing the landscape of classical composition. Stravinsky's innovative style and prolific output have left an indelible mark on the world of music, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of neoclassical and orchestral genres. From his early works to his later compositions, Stravinsky's music continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
