Hmm. . . didn't Stravinsky say that the more boundaries and discipline he has, the more freedom he has? (I don't have the exact quote, but it's something like that.)

    Stravinsky was an immediate celebrity and every scandalous debut at the Ballets Russes increased his notoriety and stardom. Yes, there were tumultuous debuts, which turned into filled houses night after night after night. I would not call him a "victim of hatred."

    I think by the end of his life, the critics were pretty much cowed by him.
    
    But I think we've gotten off the track. I think that following the original stage directions still allows for plenty of innovation. You don't. I guess that's where we stand.
