How do you write a report on Igor Stravinsky?
I would start with some research and note taking, and eventually once you have a good amount of quality information you could separate his life, achievements and legacy into large segments each of which could be a rough basis for one of your body paragraphs. You could then do a pre-write forming your introduction and opening paragraph as well as your conclusion and then moving on to the body of the report, after that you could write a rough draft, have someone else edit it, then finish with your final draft...
Of course, there are various methods used to write a decent report, this is just the way I'd go about it. Hope this helps.
One word of caution: You will run across many wonderful "quotes" from Stravinsky in your research. Use them sparingly, because it has been determined over time that many. many of them were not by Stravinsky - they were by his factotum, Robert Craft, who has been accused of attributing many things to Stravinsky that Stravinsky had nothing to do with or knew anything about.
Was Igor Stravinsky arrested for his star spangled banner?
This is FALSE.
In an interview with his biographer Robert Craft, Stravinsky recounts that his arrangement of the National Anthem was written in Los Angeles in July 1941 and first performed shortly after that. The incident with the Boston Symphony occurred in 1944. After performing his arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner with the orchestra, he was approached prior to the second scheduled concert by the Boston Commissioner of Police who warned him that he must remove the work from his concert or the parts would be seized by the police. There was a Massachusetts law prohibiting any rearrangement of the anthem apparently. Stravinsky did as he was requested and that was the end of the story.
There is a mug shot type photo of Stravinsky from Boston dated 1940 that is often shown as evidence of his arrest. However, clearly Stravinsky had not written or performed the Star Spangled Banner arrangement in 1940 and the photo has since been identified by as being from a passport application. There was never any arrest.
