Igor Stravinsky around 1925

Igor Stravinsky was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor known for being one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth-century classical music. His unique approach to rhythm, instrumentation, and tonality made him a pivotal figure in modernist music. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

Stravinsky studied composition under composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov from 1902 to 1908, Stravinsky's Feu d'artifice being his last piece composed under Rimsky-Korsakov. [5] [6] During this time, Stravinsky completed his first full composition, the Symphony in E-flat major, catalogued Op. 1. [7] Attending the premiere of Stravinsky's Scherzo fantastique and Feu d'artifice in 1909 was the Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, owner of the Ballets Russes ballet company. Diaghilev was impressed enough that he commissioned Stravinsky to write some arrangements for the 1909 ballet season. [8] In the following years, Diaghilev commissioned Stravinsky to write three ballets: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913). [9] These ballets remain Stravinsky's most famous works today. [10] [11] [12] [13]

Stravinsky's music is typically divided into three style periods: the Russian period (c. 1907-1919), the neoclassical period (c. 1920-1954), and the serial period (1954-1968). Stravinsky's Russian period is characterized by the use of Russian folk tunes and the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, and Taneyev. [14] [15] His neoclassical period reflected back to the techniques and themes of the Classical period, like his use of the sonata form in the first movement of his Octet (1923) and the Greek mythological themes in Apollo (1928), Perséphone (1933), and Orpheus (1947). [16] [17] His serial period began with using Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique dodecaphony in Agon (1954-57), later experimenting with non-twelve-tone techniques in his Cantata (1952) and Septet (1953). [18]

List organization

This list is sorted by numbers assigned to Stravinsky's works in Helmut Kirchmeyer's K Catalog. The Kirchmeyer-Verzeichnis (shortened as "K") Catalog is an annotated catalog of works by Stravinsky, started in the 1950s originally placed in appendixes of other works about Stravinsky. The first edition of the catalog was published in 2002. The Kirchmayer catalogue and Köchel catalogue of W.A. Mozart's works both use "K" as an abbreviation; the difference is that Köchel uses a K followed by a period then space (e.g. K. 492) while Kirchmeyer uses no period and no space (e.g. K013). [19] Additionally, works marked with "KN" (e.g. KN01) were added after the publishing of the first edition. [20] The opus numbers are according to what Stravinsky marked on the music. The works are named according the K Catalog. Other sources may have different titles due to Cyrillic romanization conventions.

This list contains the following information in column order from left to right: K Catalog number, opus number, name of the composition, year the composition was finished, genre, notes, and references.

The Firebird is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was written for the 1910 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company; the original choreography was by Michel Fokine, who collaborated with Alexandre Benois and others on a scenario based on the Russian fairy tales of the Firebird and the blessing and curse it possesses for its owner. It was first performed at the Opéra de Paris on 25 June 1910 and was an immediate success, catapulting Stravinsky to international fame and leading to future Diaghilev–Stravinsky collaborations including Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913).

The Wedding, or Svadebka (Russian: Свадебка), is a Russian-language ballet-cantata by Igor Stravinsky scored unusually for four vocal soloists, chorus, percussion and four pianos. Dedicating the work to impresario Sergei Diaghilev, the composer described it in French as "choreographed Russian scenes with singing and music" [sic], and it remains known by its French name of Les noces despite being Russian.

Le Baiser de la fée is a neoclassical ballet in one act and four scenes composed by Igor Stravinsky in 1928 and revised in 1950 for George Balanchine and the New York City Ballet. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's short story Isjomfruen, the work is an homage to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, for the 35th anniversary of the composer's death. Stravinsky elaborated several melodies from early piano pieces and songs by Tchaikovsky in his score. A commission by Ida Rubinstein from 1927, the ballet was choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska and premiered in Paris on 27 November 1928.

Scherzo fantastique, op. 3, composed in 1908, is the second purely orchestral work by Igor Stravinsky. Despite the composer's later description of the work as "a piece of 'pure', symphonic music", the work was inspired by Maurice Maeterlinck's 1901 essay "La Vie des Abeilles", as is made clear in a letter of 18 June 1907 from the composer to his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. Ten years later, Léo Staats adapted it as a ballet for the Opéra Garnier, with the title Les Abeilles, which was objected to by Maeterlinck.
