  • Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971) was a Russian-born composer, pianist, and conductor, widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. He is known for his innovative use of rhythm and orchestration, and for his ballets such as 'The Firebird', 'Petrushka', and 'The Rite of Spring'.
