Paris, Théatre des Champs-Elysées, 1913: The premiere of Igor Stravinsky's ballet "Le Sacre du Printemps" (The Rite of Spring), with Vaslav Nijinsky's choreographing and with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes dancing. The rhythmic combination, dissonance, polytonality, and prolific percussions, along with the provocative choreography and the pagan folk theme shocked its audience. Nevertheless, this work will be the most influential of Stravinsky. Once he said: "A good composer does not imitate; he steals." I like it. As for me, I’ve been stealing all my life; first from the old masters, then from the expressionists and so on. Picasso, Grosz, Beckmann, Kirchner, Matisse, Hockney… an endless list.
