Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the serial-rotational foundation of the late Stravinsky’s musical language. Particular attention is paid to creative links between Stravinsky and Krenek, which served as the basis for the Russian master’s adaptation of the hexachordal rotational technique. Based on the analysis of Stravinsky’s late works sketches, the evolution of his rotational seriality is traced. The universal system of indexation of Stravinsky’s late serial-rotational scores, allowing to optimize their structural and intonational analysis, has been proposed.
