Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was a Russian composer best known for his works for the stage, such as the ballets The Firebird, Petrushka, and the groundbreaking The Rite of Spring. The modernist composer lived in Switzerland, France, and then the United States. Stravinsky's experiments with rhythms and dissonance have led to him being described as the 20th century's most important composer.
