Is the rite of spring public domain?
The “Rite of Spring“ is a 25-minute ballet by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Our children know it as “Dinosaurs”, thanks to the animated version in Disney’s “Fantasia”. It is one of the most important pillars of modern music and dance. It’s also public domain – in a way.
