Music and Thoughts (Igor Stravinsky)
Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky was born in 1882 in Russia. During his life, he met other composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy and Diaghilev. Among his main compositions are: The Firebird, The Rite of Spring and Petruska.
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
