Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was a Russian-born composer, pianist, and conductor. He is widely considered one of the most influential and innovative composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's works are notable for their stylistic diversity, and he is often credited with introducing elements of modernism into classical music. Stravinsky began his musical career as a student of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and his early works were heavily influenced by the Russian nationalist school of composition. He later developed a more modernist style, incorporating elements of neoclassicism, serialism, and jazz. His most famous works include The Firebird (1910), The Rite of Spring (1913), and The Soldier's Tale (1918). Stravinsky's works have been performed by some of the world's leading orchestras and ensembles, and he has been honored with numerous awards and honors, including the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1962. He was also a prolific writer, and his autobiography, Chronicle of My Life, was published in 1936.
