Mozart's back :)

Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky had a complex relationship, marked by mutual respect, competition, and moments of tension. They first met in the early 20th century and were both closely associated with Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, where their music helped define early modernism.

Ravel admired Stravinsky’s talent, particularly works like The Firebird and Petrushka. However, their relationship became strained after The Rite of Spring (1913), which overshadowed Ravel’s own Daphnis et Chloé (1912). Some accounts suggest Ravel found The Rite impressive but also criticized it for its orchestration.

Stravinsky, on the other hand, could be dismissive of Ravel. He reportedly called Boléro “repetitive” and mocked Ravel’s famous remark about being a “Swiss watchmaker” in music. Yet, he still acknowledged Ravel’s craftsmanship and innovation.

Despite personal tensions, they influenced each other’s styles. Ravel’s jazz-infused works in the 1920s, such as the Piano Concerto in G, owe something to Stravinsky’s Ragtime and Piano-Rag-Music, while Stravinsky’s neoclassical period echoes Ravel’s precision.

Their relationship reflects both admiration and rivalry—two composers at the cutting edge of early 20th-century music, shaping and challenging each other’s work.
