It gets a little ridiculous trying to say where one period ends and next begins. There are always many links, and much overlap, between periods. The fact that Stravinsky himself turned to neo-classicism shows how cyclical things can be. I can certainly accept the idea that some people prefer to define '20th century' by the calendar, which frankly makes as much sense as anything else.Re IS specifically: don't forget that Le Sacre does come very early on, in 1913 when Stravinsky was I think 30 years old. By that time he'd already written the Firebird, Petrushka and a couple other pieces that many would call modernist, in addition to the first symphony and a piano sonata that are frankly immature works and uninteresting. So the Rite comes about three years into his mature period, which would last 50 years--the point being it is very close to a beginning for him as a mature composer.
