| Summary: | This article focuses on the studies and collections of folk songs and tales
that formed the main source of inspiration for Igor Stravinsky during the
Russian period of his work. To do this, I begin with a brief analysis of the
evolution of folkloristics mainly during the 19th century and the
construction of science with clearer, mainly national and patriotic goals
and methods, as well as the use of folk literature and poetry by the artists
of the time. It was in this field that Stravinsky was active, although in
the case of his own modern approach, it is difficult to answer whether the
motivations were clearly national or not. |
