Jeux
A ballet score that secretly invented musical modernism, its seventeen minutes of perpetual transformation refuse repetition so thoroughly that the structure itself becomes the subject.

Era & Context
Premiered in 1913 just two weeks before The Rite of Spring, Jeux was overshadowed by Stravinsky's scandal but proved equally revolutionary. Its through-composed, non-repeating structure anticipated post-war avant-garde techniques by decades, making it arguably the first modernist orchestral work.
Career Phase
Radical structural freedom and proto-modernist abstraction. The late works abandoned conventional form entirely, anticipating techniques that would define twentieth-century composition.
