Borodin, Igor (Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in C)

Igor Stravinsky's "Symphony in C," composed in 1940-1941, reflects a neoclassical style, blending traditional classical elements with modern harmonies. The work is notable for its clear structure and lively rhythms, showcasing Stravinsky's mastery of orchestration. It consists of four movements, each distinct yet interconnected, demonstrating both elegance and energy. Though not directly related to Borodin, a fellow Russian composer known for his lush melodies and nationalist themes, "Symphony in C" embodies a shift towards a more refined, abstract approach to composition, highlighting Stravinsky's innovative spirit in the context of 20th-century music.
