Igor Stravinsky - Lettre autographe signée avec COA - 1932

A letter of warm wishes signed by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky in Isère (Voreppe), in 1932.

Stravinsky's body of work spans nearly seventy years. It is characterized by its great diversity of styles. The composer rose to fame with the creation of three ballets for the Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird (1910), Petrouchka (1911) and his masterwork The Rite of Spring (1913), which had a considerable influence on the way rhythm is approached in classical music. In the 1920s, his musical output took a neoclassical turn and reconnected with traditional forms (concerto grosso, fugue and symphony). In the 1950s, finally, Igor Stravinsky explored the possibilities of serial music.
