The Rite of Spring
For those of you who don't know, today, May 29 is the 100th birthday of what is perhaps Igor Stravinsky's most famous work, The Rite of Spring! It apparently caused riots on its parisian opening (people hated it), but soon came to be recognized as one of the foremost developers of 20th century classical music.
