His 1913 ballet,"Le Sacre du Printemps" (The Rite of Spring), caused the greatest single revolution in classical music since Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony in the early 1800s. It was a complete break from the Romanticism of the nineteenth century with its strange and dissonant rhythms and sounds. It was a fiasco upon its premiere, but began to win wide acceptance as a concert piece just a year later.
