Igor Stravinsky
Stravinsky’s unconventional major-minor seventh chord in his arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner” led to an incident with the Boston police on 15 January 1944, and he was warned that the authorities could impose a $100 fine upon any “rearrangement of the national anthem in whole or in part”.[64][65] The incident soon established itself as a myth, in which Stravinsky was supposedly arrested for playing the music.[66]
