Paris had seen revolution and turmoil, yet it didn't quite know what to think of Stravinsky's epoch-making ballet The Rite of Spring and the curious footing of Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto, both of which were premièred in the city.



The Rite went down rather badly, its language based in deranged rhythm rather than civilised harmony, its choreography changing the point of expression from the ankle to the pelvis.



Ten years later, one of the few to take a shine to Prokofiev's Violin Concerto at its premiere was Stravinsky, who revelled in its childlike beauty and innocence.
