Rachmaninoff chose to follow the foolproof methodology of the romantic era composers, whereas Stravinsky chose to create his own methods of composition. A major difference between the composers could be observed in regards to their reaction to disappointment. Rachmaninoff's first symphony had a very disappointing premiere. This caused a great deal of post-facto suffering for the young composer. Similarly, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring had a disappointing premiere. However, the significance of these two events was the attitude of each composer toward music. Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff viewed music in entirely different manners. They both had their own unique methodology in inspecting what music conveys. This was mostly due to their methods of training. Their music education had great effects on their views of music. .
In Tchaikovsky's, The Rite of Spring, written as a ballet, the premiere required a choreographer in order to put accompany the music with dance. Traditionally, ballet music has been written to accompany the dancers. This is not how Stravinsky meant his Rite to be performed. Stravinsky wanted the dancers to be an accompaniment to the music. With this notion, Stravinsky, once again asserts his notion of autonomy in composition. Stravinsky did not write an accompaniment for dancers. He wrote a piece, which did not need accessories to be completed. The premiere ended up as a disaster because it had no relation to the choreography. Stravinsky did not give up hope after the failure. He knew that his music was a sound composition. He never once doubted the integrity of the music. Instead he chose to blame elements, on which he had no control like the choreography. To Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring was a concrete object. It could not have been altered. However the peripherals of the music (the dance) were not so objective. The music could not have been at fault here.
