the oboe player is excellent

One of Stravinsky's neoclassical works! He began to simplify his style more and more after his earlier interaction with Satie.

Did you know that Stravinsky actually found the music of the 18h century quite attractive? He adored minuets and the sonata format of the time.

Yay for Stravinsky! =)

@gsmonks Gallo for introduction and then from Pergolesi (from the FLAMINIO)

Wonderful!

@RediForKing You are probably right. I certainly like Stravinsky more than Hip Hop. But I am trying to convince those who love Hip Hop to give guys like Stravinsky a listen. Maybe that's a pipe dream, but I'm trying to encourage everyone to "get along" and realize that music one great big candy mountain, and our interests are more alike than they are different. And remember, with a work like the Ebony Concerto, Stravinsky tried to bring the popular music of his day into "Classical Music."

@RolandRiopelle With all respect to you and your comment I think any comparison of Stravinsky with hip hop is kind of an offence to Stravisnky

[RediForKing]

I think this is better than any "actual" classical piece

[hey3apple]

I played this piece with a saxophone choir, and it actually sounded good :p

With respect to the hip hop comment below, isn't it interesting to think that the early Stravinsky -- Rite of Spring, for example -- was doing with the use of percussion, and tempo and ostinati, everything that "hip hop" does to reduce the music it derives from. But Stravinsky was doing it better, smarter and with greater consciousness than hip hop. And he was doing it about 100 years before hip hop began.
