Legendary Musicians

📸 When a composer ends up in a mugshot.

This famous photograph shows Igor Stravinsky in Boston in 1940. For decades, people have repeated the story that he was arrested for performing his own harmonized version of the U.S. national anthem.

The truth is likely less dramatic: authorities reportedly warned him, but there is little evidence that he was ever actually jailed. Still, the legend endured, turning this image into one of the most iconic photographs in music history.

Sometimes the line between history and myth is as thin as a single note.
