Composer Gunther Schuller (1925-2015) was first introduced to "The Rite of Spring" (1913) by viewing this film. He cited it as a key moment in his life and an influence on his musical career. He believed that the same was likely true for other musical professionals. In his words, "I hope [Igor Stravinsky] appreciated that hundreds--perhaps thousands--of musicians were turned on to 'The Rite of Spring' . . . through 'Fantasia', musicians who might otherwise never have heard the work".
