Here's a great performance of Stravinsky's Three Pieces for String Quartet. He wrote it in 1914, one year after The Rite of Spring.

I've been trying to get to know all of Stravinsky's work - not only his neoclassical period but his later work influenced by the serialists. So far in decreasing order my faves are Agon, the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, the Symphony of Psalms, Symphonies of Wind Instruments, Variations: Aldous Huxley in Memoriam, and Septet. He's so different from anyone else, so good at orchestration with distinctive timbres and harmonies!
