No applause, please! Just throw money.

There’s plenty to cheer about on the birthday of Igor Stravinsky, even if the composer could be a mite transparent in his focus on the bottom line. In a practice that would later become commonplace in rap, Stravinsky adopted a dollar sign for use in his monogram.

Join me today on The Classical Network, as we celebrate one of the greatest composers of the past century. He was certainly one of the best-marketed.

You can bet your bottom dollar on $travinsky, among our featured composers, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
