Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring: A Rhythmic Revolution
Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring: A Detailed Analysis
Rhythm: A Revolutionary Approach
Stravinsky’s innovative treatment of rhythm is a defining feature of The Rite of Spring. The seemingly regular division of musical strains, initially suggesting a binary rhythm, is disrupted by a striking use of syncopation and accents.
