10/10 would crush in rocket league again

Tchaikovsky & Stravinsky

These powerhouse Russian composers left a lasting impression that continues to this day. Their use of Russian folk music is signature to their sound in completely unique ways (with Tchaikovsky focusing on Ukrainian folk songs). While Tchaikovsky wasn't necessarily a composer that pushed forward the epoch he resided in (the Romantic Period), his skill as a composer and creator of ballet music took it to a whole new level. Stravinsky was a composer firmly grounded in the roots of the ending Romantic Period and burgeoning Modern Era. You can hear Tchaikovsky influence on him in his neoclassical phase of his compositions. While many fans of the movie Fantasia fondly remember hearing Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, the composer later quipped that the use of his music in the animated film was "terrible", the animation was "imbecility" and even managed to fire an insult at the conductor Leopold Stokowski calling his interpretation of his music "execrable"
