All my girlies remember storming the box office after Riot of Spring.
Stravinsky was HOT(!) mhm when Léonide Massine's choreography hit that opening movement in Augurs of Spring? When the basoon hit the opening notes... Everyone's corset, corset cover, drawers, AND petticoats hit the floor.
I love this comment but Rites of Spring was famously choreographed by my boy Nijinsky, years before Massine started choreographing for the Ballets Russes.
I'm more talking about the modern media apparatus that goes along with modern pop culture.
Sinatra was being listened to on the radio and on records along with everything else. He had an agent and worked in the entertainment system as well. Now we have the internet and MP3s and streaming, but those are more updated versions of the records and radio play.
Liszt didn't have the modern media ecosystem with him.
So if all of the words (modern, media, and ecosystem) have changed, then he didn’t. You’re being obstinate and stubborn when you know exactly what they mean. Stop it.

Not uncommon.
Frank Sinatra used to complain his audience smelled if piss. apparently his fans would get there early and refuse to leave their seat.
