Listening (The Rake's Progress (1951) Act I, last scene)

I thought that it was interesting how Stravinsky used "Rake's Progress" by Hograth as the idea for his composition. This piece was created around Bach's time. I would have thought that Stravinsky would have chosen an art selection more recent. I like that this art selection has a lot of emotion because it provides for a more captivating piece. The scene that this composition is about is when Sarah is deciding between Tom and her father. This creates tension between to pulling forces. This tension can be seen when the piece graduates into a faster tempo. Stravinsky has written many compositions, and I feel that this one contains the most emotion.
