The second movement of Stravinsky's Octet for wind instruments opens with what Stephen calls "a broad melody completely in the octatonic scale". Jonathan describes a highly rhythmic passage in the first movement of the "Symphony in Three Movements" as "gloriously octatonic, not an unfamiliar situation in jazz, where this mode is known as the 'diminished scale', but Stravinsky of course knew it from Rimsky. The 'rumba' passage… alternates chords of E-flat7 and C7, over and over, distantly recalling the coronation scene from Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov. In celebrating America, the émigré looked back once again to Russia." catalogues many other octatonic moments in Stravinsky's music.
