Stravinsky goes 12-tone! This period of his life was always talked about like it was such a big deal when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's.
In fact -- a lot like Berg -- he used the rigid systems of serialism to explore and diversify his omnipresent love of all things classical -- thus neo-classicism.
The final movement is fugues and double fugues, with the series notated above the parts, and a tapestry of connections with previously-heard music.
First movement
