Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring, Part 2

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast

A few years ago, I was at a performance of the Rite of Spring. Sitting behind me were some rather conservative audience members. As one particularly violent section of the piece blasted away, I heard one of them say, "If they keep playing this modern music I'm cancelling my subscription." How does a piece remain modern for so long? In Part 2 of the Rite this week, we explore this question, as well as dig into how Stravinsky builds a narrative that results in the sacrifice and the beginning of Spring.
