In his neoclassical period of composition, Stravinsky developed highly refined
methods of formal construction, harmonic management, and use of counterpoint.
Careful analysis of several neoclassical and transitional works serves to demonstrate
Stravinsky’s innovative methods of voice leading, economy of pitch class set material,
and ingenuity in redefining Classical era forms. Stravinsky’s Russian ballets are
stylistically focused on practical and stage-oriented formal structures, stratified
counterpoint, and thematic content originating in folk materials.
