Description
If, over the course of his long life, a composer changed his style as drastically as Stravinsky, it comes as no surprise that he continually had to reassess his relationship to his own works. The great Russian master is, without doubt, one of those composers (of whom in the 20th century there were many) who tried to re-write their own past to bring their earlier compositions into line with their changed aesthetic views and maxims. This 'fickle' behaviour, however, reduces neither the value of the masterpieces, nor the artistic greatness of their creator. A comparison of The rite of spring and Mavra affords an excellent opportunity to understand the radical turn that occurred between Stravinsky's 'Russian' and 'Neoclassical' periods.
