his family's desire that he follow studies in law. a
student at the university in St. Petersburg, he met
a man by the name of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov
and studied with the much more experienced
composer. His music greatly caught the attention
of Serge Diaghilev, the director of the Ballets
Russes in Paris. Stravinsky was commissioned to
write a ballet for the theater called Firebird. This
was almost immediately followed by Petrushka
and The Rite of Spring.
