Glass, Philip. "His Rite of Spring Heralded the Century. After That, He Never Stopped Reinventing Himself — or Modern Music." Time 8 June 1998. 12 Oct. 2007

Renowned composer Philip Glass discusses Stravinsky's inevitable, influential approach to composition with “The Rite of Spring”. Avant-garde composers, such as Glass, recognize the significance Stravinsky left behind. Glass discusses his experience seeing Stravinsky conduct and what that meant to him. Glass admires that Stravinsky was always reinventing himself. He was always projecting a distinct voice no matter what piece he was working on. Adapting earlier musical techniques and styles combined with a new musical voice always was prominent in Stravinsky's music. What composers weren't influenced by Stravinsky? Was it inevitable?
