 Fireworks, one of Stravinsky's most famous pieces, was written as a wedding present for Rimsky's daughter. This orchestral fantasy work from 1908 is still popular today. Most reviewers see this little four-minute composition as his first completely distinctive work, free of any instructor's influence.[([[https://www.laphil.com/musicdb/pieces/356/fireworks|laphil]])]
+===== Diaghilev =====
+Despite the lackluster reaction, Diaghilev noticed the novelty of Fireworks and commissioned arrangements for Russian ballets being performed in Paris.[([[https://courses.lumenlearning.com/musicapp_historical/chapter/stravinsky/|Lumen Learning]])]
+===== Influenced =====
+Stravinsky was strongly affected by the ensemble of musicians Diaghilev recruited during those years, allowing him to explore his unconventionality. Firebird, Petrushka, and Rite of Spring, the three ballets he composed at the period, were extraordinarily unusual, astonished audiences, and immediately became classics.[([[https://courses.lumenlearning.com/musicapp_historical/chapter/stravinsky/|Lumen Learning]])]
+===== Nossenko =====
+He moved to Switzerland with his wife, Catherine Nossenko, whom he married in 1906, and their four children at the outbreak of World War I and the subsequent Russian revolution.[([[https://books.google.pl/books?id=TgZADwAAQBAJ&pg=PT88&lpg=PT88&dq=The+eruption+of+World+War+I+and+the+later+Russian+revolution+caused+him+to+take+up+residence+in+Switzerland,+where+he+lived+with+his+wife,+Catherine+Nossenko,+who+he+married+in+1906,+and+their+four+children.&source=bl&ots=cKOUQVUsRj&sig=ACfU3U3CS8fYpi0fN7JeSjezodhL5hlyOg&hl=pl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWtNG9t8z1AhWJ-yoKHfW2C1QQ6AF6BAgnEAM#v=onepage&q=The%20eruption%20of%20World%20War%20I%20and%20the%20later%20Russian%20revolution%20caused%20him%20to%20take%20up%20residence%20in%20Switzerland%2C%20where%20he%20lived%20with%20his%20wife%2C%20Catherine%20Nossenko%2C%20who%20he%20married%20in%201906%2C%20and%20their%20four%20children.&f=false|Google Books]])]
+===== Renard =====
+Homesickness drove him to incorporate Russian folklore and jazz elements into his works while in Switzerland. Renard was one of his most well-known works at the time.[([[https://www.operaphila.org/whats-on/on-stage-2021-2022/oedipus-rex-plus-lilacs/igor-stravinsky/|Opera Phila]])]
+===== White Ballet =====
+The Stravinsky family relocated to France in 1920, and he worked there over the following two decades, composing an opera-oratorio and "white" ballet that, according to critics, both transcended and defined the neo-classical period.[([[https://fliphtml5.com/sbzli/dpud/basic|fliphtml5]])]
+===== Symphony Of Psalms =====
+He composed the Symphony of Psalms in 1930, a choral composition for men and boys that did not use violins. [([[https://etd.ohiolink.edu/apexprod/rws_etd/send_file/send?accession=osu1196113148&disposition=inline|ohiolink]])]
+===== After Wife's Death =====
+After the death of his wife in 1939, he traveled to the United States, although continuing to produce prolific works during his stay in France.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Igor-Stravinsky|Britannica]])]
+===== Harvard =====
+In 1940, Stravinsky gave a series of lectures at Harvard University.[([[https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674678569&content=reviews|Harvard]])]
+===== Symphony In C =====
+Symphony in C, one of his most major pieces, was finished in 1940.[([[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Symphony-No-5-in-C-Minor-Op-67|Britannica]])]
+===== Vera De Bosset =====
+In 1940, Stravinsky married Vera de Bosset for the second time. His relationship with her began in 1921, and they both became citizens of the United States in 1945.[([[https://www.nytimes.com/1982/09/18/obituaries/vera-stravinski-widow-of-composer-dead-at-93.html|NYTimes]])]
