useful readings on stravinsky

Here are three pieces of writing on Stravinsky that contain important information about the Poetics of Music and The Rite of Spring ; one is by Robert Craft, noted Stravinsky scholar and Stravinsky's long-time amanuensis; two are by Richard Taruskin, surely the world's leading scholarly authority on Stravinsky today.
