Known for his groundbreaking works that spanned various musical styles and genres, Stravinsky was a true innovator of his time. From the opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex to the melodrama Pers+phone and the ballet Apollo Musag-tes (later retitled Apollo), his compositions pushed boundaries and challenged conventions.
