Объясните, плиз, несведущему.
Сделал прогрессивной как бы .
Доминантсептаккорд подобавил, мол будет более `церковно`.
Не все поняли, и штрафом пригрозили.
Но в тюрьму он за это не попал, вымыслы.
Как то так.

During his time in America in course of the War, Strawinsky was obliged to open his
concerts with the American national anthem. A composer who visited him twice a week as a
pupil encouraged him to replace the usual arrangements, all of which he considered to be
artistically weak, with a better one. As a result of this, Strawinsky made his arrangement
on 14 October 1941, and it was premiered by the composer’s (id est pupil’s) son-in-law
with a black choir and orchestra. Strawinsky subsequently sent the manuscript to the wife
of President Roosevelt as a contribution to an auction in aid of the war effort and the
score was promptly returned with an apology. The distribution of Strawinsky’s arrangement
was also restricted and frustrated by legal regulations. Strawinsky conducted his
arrangement himself on 14 January 1944 in Boston with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His
expectation that the audience would sing along with the anthem was disappointed, despite
the fact that he conducted with his back to the orchestra in order to lead the audience
accordingly. The next day, shortly before the start of the concert with the same program,
he received a visit in his green room from an American policeman, who explained to him
that according to a law in effect in Massachusetts, tampering with national property was
forbidden. While he was explaining this, the police were in fact in the process of
removing the parts that had already been laid out on the music stands.
