Stravinsky Pulcinella

In 1919, the impresario Sergei Diaghilev came up with the idea of
having Stravinsky write a ballet inspired by 18th century music
by composers like Pergolesi. The result, Pulcinella, began a
transformation of Stravinsky’s music. Stravinsky would later say:
“Pulcinella was my discovery of the past, the epiphany through
which the whole of my late work became possible." Today we'll
talk through Pulcinella - a brilliant and funny piece that shows
Stravinsky in a totally new light. Get ready for a fun ride!
