The Rite of Springhad a profound impact on Bartók and his contemporaries: Bartók felt its principles of composition showed the influence of Russian folk music. Stravinsky’s attraction to popular culture, however, was mainly literary: as a child he had immersed himself in the world of Russian folk tales in his father’s vast library. One of these tales, part of the Afanassiev collection, inspired Stravinsky during his Swiss exile in 1917 to write L’Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) with his friend the librettist Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz. Other works written in the same period (Les Noces, Pribaoutki, Renard and Les Berceuses du Chat) stemmed from musical sources, and in particular from the Kivievsky collection of popu- lar songs which Stravinsky had brought from Kiev.

  • Igor Stravinsky
    A PORTRAIT Igor Stravinsky 1882–1971 Igor Stravinsky: A Portrait Preface Among the carefully adapted transcriptions of conversations between the veteran Stravinsky and Robert Craft, there is one especially telling passage. Referring to his 1920 ballet Pulcinella, the composer recalls the reaction to his arrangements of Pergolesi and other eighteenth-century musicians: People who had never heard of, or cared about, the originals cried ‘sacrilege’: ‘The classics are ours. Leave the classics alone.’ To them all my answer was and is the same: You ‘respect’, but I love. A great genius’s love for all his models is what lies at the heart of Stravinsky’s creativity. (It is worth noting that although he was apt to put inverted commas around the word ‘heart’, Stravinsky leaves the word ‘love’ to stand unqualified in the above quotation.) He made everything he touched become his own, whether it was the lush nationalist influence of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov, or the extreme refinement of Anton Webern, whose music he discovered so late in life. No theme was deemed too cheap or outlandish a subject for transformation, and his inspiration was wide-ranging. Prokofiev thought him a disgraceful thief for pilfering other ballet composers’ ideas in Apollo, but Stravinsky’s genuine admiration for composers as unlikely as Gounod and Delibes was unlimited. Hungarian and Greek folk music, the antics of the music hall 4 Igor Stravinsky: A Portrait entertainer Little Tich, and the jazz trumpeting of Shorty Rogers: all these were grist to his creative mill. As the awed conductors who welcomed the eighty-year-old Stravinsky back to Russia so eloquently wrote at the time, the only figure with whom he could be compared was Picasso.
