Back to the Future: Neoclassicism in Music in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
Stravinsky admitted that Pulcinella wasn’t just homage—it was liberation. “It was a backward look, of course,” he said, “but it was a look in the mirror too.” By reworking 18th-century melodies with his own twists, he essentially invented neoclassicism—proving that recycling old material can still create something revolutionary.
