One of the most influential composers of the twentieth century, Stravinsky's adoption of every important stylistic trend while still remaining indisputably himself, betrays a remarkable kind of creative kleptomania. Motivated no doubt by his emigré lifestyle, the constant re-invention of his musical voice produced a variety of works that span the final flowering of Russian nationalism under Rimsky-Korsakov to the severity of post-war Serialism.
