Awesome scene! I can't believe Mussorgsky was self-taught! The earth/dinosaur scene really got me into Stravinsky's work.. so much power and colour.. that was definitely my favourite. :)
Mussorgsky was self-taught? Wow. I only have a small collection of his work but what I have seems to be very dark.
I'm not the biggest classical fan but I definetly think Stravinsky is the most interesting composer I've heard. I a couple of model sheets and story sketches from the "Rite Of Spring" sequence. I'll post that soon too.
That's my favourite sequence, too, Kevin!
