Stravinsky is masterly: his harmony is conceived so precisely that it can only be the way it is.
Stravinsky used Mother Goose. He was influenced by Mother Goose, indirectly, but very beautifully
The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it.
New music? Hell, there's been no new music since Stravinsky.
I had no idea Stravinsky disliked Debussy so much as this.
