| Summary: | This article explores aspects of Stravinsky’s influence on some key composers
of the Francophone post-war avant-garde, namely Pierre Boulez, Jean
Barraqué, Henri Pousseur and Michel Philippot. While Messiaen, Boulez and
Barraqué build on Stravinsky’s rhythmic innovations, Pousseur focuses on the
sonic complexity of the Russian composer’s scores. Boulez and Philippot
praise Stravinsky’s unique instrumental groupings and later Boulez finds in
certain of Stravinsky’s scores a renewed source of musical form, as well as
the structural coherence afforded by Stravinsky’s use of pitch polarity. |
