The Rite of Spring

"The Rite of Spring" was composed by Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky, Russian composer, pianist and conductor.

The ballet "The Rite of Spring" was written in 1913. The premiere had place in Paris and it caused riot in the audience. People found it outrageous and barbaric, cause of its pogan theme.

It is considered the beginning of 20th century music.

In"Hannibal" we can hear a fragment of it in season 1, episode 4 when Hannibal tries to play on Will's piano.
