ABSTRACT:
Stravinsky considered himself a maker, a Homo faber, an artisan of the past. He confessed that he liked to compose music more than music itself, and argued that expression was not an immanent character of music. With this paper, I intend to discuss Stravinsky's musical aesthetics (the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures given right after the outbreak of WWII –Poétique musicale), depicting and criticising his notion of expression and his view of the musician as mere “executant”. I will also point out some biographical details (the controversial premiere of Le Sacre du printemps and Stravinsky's antisemitism) while criticising Adorno's harsh critique of Stravinsky's music.
