Description
One thing we all know about Little Einsteins (or we may not know, considering what I have seen DeviantArt has done to them) is that they always used classical music in their episode, whether is a well known work (like Ludwig van Beethoven's ode to joy, Johann Strauss II's Blue Danube Waltz, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 21st piano concerto and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Gioacchino Rossini's William tell overture, Felix Mendelssohn's wedding march et cetera) or more obscure music (like Franz Schubert's unfinished symphony and trout quintet, Bedrich Smetana's the Moldau, Antonín Dvořák's Humoresque no. 7, Edvard Grieg's Wedding day at Troldhaugen, Johann Sebastian Bach's brandenburg concerto no. 5 and second orchestral suite, Charles François Gounod's funeral march of a marionette (if you're not familiar with Alfred Hitchcock presents) et cetera).
However, once I grew older, I discovered more classical music I haven't heard before, like Richard Wagner's the ride of the valkyries, Maurice Ravel's Boléro, George Gershwin's rhapsody in blue, Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody in blue no. 2 (I already knew that music, I found out it was a real piano piece when i was in elementary school), Gioacchino Rossini's barber of Seville's overture (I already knew about "Largo al factotum" thanks to a commercial on JimJam), Beethoven's sixth symphony (which became my favourite Beethoven's symphony), Luigi Boccherini's String Quintet in E major, Johann Strauss II's tritsch tratsch polka et cetera (some of said music i included in my "Little Einsteins and Courage too" fictional stories). All thanks to Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, the amazing world of Gumball, My Little Pony Friendship is magic, Courage the cowardly dog, Mickey Mouse shorts, Bluey, Sesame Street and this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntKeIC…
Then, when I was in high school, I studied Avant-Garde: an artistic movement set between the two world wars in which various artists (as in painters, architectors, sculptors, writers and musicians) wanted to create something new that went against the original art rules (like abstractism, cubism, expressionism (which, by the way, no. Edvard Munch was not part of it), futurism, fauvism, dadaism, suprematism, surrealism and (kinda) metaphysic for art).
For music, I can't really tell who were the composers, as I only know that Igor Stravinsky was one of them. We all know that Little Einsteins used music from his ballet "The Firebird suite", but what you probably may not know was that the firebird was not the only ballet Stravinsky wrote. There were quite a few, but there was one called "The Rite of Spring", which was one of the musics I knew thanks to Fantasia (specifically the one about the creation of Earth). From a title like that, you may expect a happy ballet that's all about the joy of spring, right? Wrong. The rite of spring sees the return of spring and the renewal of the Earth through the sacrifice of a virgin chosen to dance herself to death. In other words, it's quite unsettling, with music that ranges from quiet and suspensful to loud and startling (it's safe to say that it's a good thing Walt Disney only used a few parts for Fantasia, even though that famously angered Stravinsky, who was still alive at the time Fantasia was in the works).

So, I've decided to make this little comic, depicting the Little Einsteins listening to the Rite of Spring.

Here's the link for the whole ballet (don't listen to it if you have sensible ears) www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP42C-…
