The fact that it has made the news that it is the centenary of the first public playing of Stravinsky's divisive piece The Rite of Spring it heartening.
Back when I was younger and studied music this piece absolutely blew my mind. I was enthralled and even listening to it again today it moved me to tears.

I adore it. More people should.
