Igor Stravinsky's stylistic periods can be broadly categorized into three phases: the Russian period, the Neoclassical period, and the Serial period. The Russian period, exemplified by works like "The Firebird" and "The Rite of Spring," is characterized by folkloric themes and innovative orchestration. The Neoclassical period saw Stravinsky adopt classical forms and styles, as seen in compositions like "Pulcinella." In his later Serial period, he incorporated twelve-tone techniques, reflecting a more avant-garde approach to composition.
Neoclassical
Prokofiev and his Symphony No. 1 in D Major, "Classical," may have been the first piece designated as Neoclassical. Stravinsky did a major study of this, and created numerous pieces in this style, for example, Pulcinella, and A Fairy's Kiss, both taking on styles of former composers.
Stravinsky composed Petrushka during they years 1910-1911. The ballet debuted in 1911.

Between 1920 and 1951, Igor Stravinsky drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including neoclassical elements and Russian folk music. He sought to blend traditional forms with modern techniques, often revisiting classical composers like Bach and Mozart while incorporating jazz influences. Additionally, his collaboration with visual artists and choreographers, such as Pablo Picasso and George Balanchine, further shaped his creative output during this period. This era marked a significant evolution in Stravinsky's style, reflecting a search for new musical identities.
