Hollywood that any contract regarding an abbreviated cartoon version of
Petrushka must be consistent with the terms of Stravinsky's contract with
Columbia Records. Russian-born composer IGOR STRAVINSKY (1882-1971) was
perhaps the greatest classical composer of the 20th century. Stravinsky, who
lived in France following WWI before coming to the U.S. in 1939, wrote
operas, including Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911) and The
Rite of Spring (1913), neoclassical works and such religious-inspired pieces
as Symphony of Psalms (1930). Stravinsky became a naturalized American
citizen in 1949. He also collaborated on several books, including his
autobiography Chronicles of My Life in 1936. Edges chipped. 2
filing holes at left edge.
