Behind the Music: Stravinsky's "Petrushka"

Stravinsky's puppet-come-to-life "Petrushka", whose attempts to win the admiration of a ballerina come to naught. In his second full ballet score for the Ballets Russes, two years before "The Rite of Spring", Stravinsky's astonishing musical depictions of a Russian Shrovetide fair further cemented the reputation of the young composer of "The Firebird".

I love the Ballet Russe performance, and the music, but what was the connection with Daoist yin-yang?

The battle between the good and the evil, which is present in this ballet in the battle between the Magician and Petrushka.
