Stravinsky at Harvard on the "Firebird" "Stravinsky began his stay in the United States at Harvard University delivering six Charles Eliot Norton lectures on musical poetics during the 1939-1940 academic year" ADNB.<br/><br/>In this brief formal letter Stravinsky acknowledges receipt of an edition of the Russian legend retold and illustrated by Donald E. Cooke. It was Stravinsky's 1910 score of The Firebird for the Ballets Russes that first brought him international notice. The New York Times obituary of Stravinsky published on 6 April 1971 noted "He also was not pleased that 'The Firebird' remained his most popular composition."<br/><br/>Uncommon document from early in Stravinsky's residence in the U.S. when he still spelt his surname with "w" in his signature and return address. unknown books
16350November 11 1967 Hollywood one page 4to on Stravinsky's imprinted stationery: "This letter is a pledge to help discharge Mr.Robert Craft's $10903.44 debt to CBS. As both Mr. Craft and CBS apparently are in precarious financial circumstances I herewith request and authorize the attachment and application of my own royalties." He concludes with a dig at the "richly ungrammatical note" from CBS's law firm. Signed in full. Fine condition. The works of Stravinsky 1882-1971 spanning from the romantic into the modern era revolutionized twentieth-century music. While The Firebird his first commission for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes reflects the rich orchestral coloring of Rimsky-Korsakov his dissonant third ballet The Rite of Spring caused a critical riot in 1913 Paris and still sounds barbarous today. Stravinsky met the young American conductor Robert Craft in 1948; Craft gradually became his Boswell and was instrumental in persuading the composer to adopt the twelve-tone scale. <br/><br/> unknown books

1962847621962. Single page typed signed letter with notes in Stravinsky's hand.

Matted and framed opposite a photograph of Stravinsky. The entire piece measures 26.5 inches by 19.25 inches. Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer pianist and conductor. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Serge Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird 1910 Petrushka 1911 and The Rite of Spring 1913. The last of these transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a musical revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His "Russian phase" which continued with works such as Renard the Soldier's Tale and Les Noces was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassical music. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms concerto grosso fugue and symphony drawing on earlier styles especially from the 18th century. In the 1950s Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form and of instrumentation. unknown
