Igor Stravinsky (17 June 1882 - 6 April 1971) was a Russian (and later, a naturalized French and American)
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 Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in
Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913).
