Igor Stravinsky is the most important and influential composer in the 20th century. Why did I say he was the most important and influential composer ? This is because is because that he tended to use the traditional musical forms concerto grosso, fugue, symphony frequently concealed a vein of intense emotion beneath a surface appearance of detachment or austerity, and often paid tribute to the music of earlier masters, for example J. S. Bach and Tchaikovsky.
One of his most famous music is called The Rite of Spring. Stravinsky's music is harmonically adventurous, with prominent use of dissonance for the purposes of color and musical energy. Rhythmically, it is similarly adventurous, a number of sections having constantly changing time signatures and off-beat accents.
