With this brilliant and uncompromising work, the most famous musical work of the 20th century, Stravinsky changed the course of modern music forever. Says Grove's: every canon of harmony seems to have been violated . . . yet with all its deliberate crudity and violence the 'Rite' is a clearly planned and perfectly controlled and coordinated piece of music [which] has for long been accepted universally as a masterpiece and is in the repertory of every large symphony orchestra. . . . [6 1/8 x 8 1/2, 176 pp.].
