And we can all wear bracelets embossed with W.W.I.D. for What Would Igor Do -- we know what he did when confronted with such a complaint about the Rite of Spring (only the suggestion was to place the problematic line in the English Horn part) -- he got rid of the complaining bassoonist and found one who could play the part.
Don't forget that he did the opposite, when approptiate. He sketched the opening chord of the violin concerto (D-E-A), showed it to Dushkin asking whether it was playable. Dushkin initially said no, and only later tried it out and told Stravinsky that he could indeed use that chord.
