Stravinsky Arrested in Boston!
This mug shot of Igor Stravinsky was taken by the Boston police. It seems Stravinsky was arrested for "tampering with public property." In 1940 the police arrived at Symphony Hall and confiscated the instrument parts to Stravinsky's orchestration of "The Star Spangled Banner." He was charged with changing the traditional harmonies. This story can be found with the Koch release, Histoire de Soldat, Premieres & Rarities. On it is, another national anthem orchestrated by Stravinsky, La Marseillaise.
