The 20th century is a period of great expansion and development brought

by the advancement in technology. This century leads to wide experimentation of new
musical forms and styles.

Impressionism is a French movement style borrowed from painting which was

started by Claude Debussy. In music, Impressionism was started by Debussy in reaction to
the dramatic emotionalism of romantic music.
Impressionism may be described as having refinement, vague in form, delicate in
nature, and conveys atmosphere and subtle emotion. Like painting, impressionist music
projects a hazy and dream-like quality and usually use nature as the subject.
It abandoned the traditional major and minor harmonies and used new combination
of extended chords , whole-tone chords, chromaticism, and exotic rhythms and scale. It is
also characterized by overlapping of different chords, unresolved dissonances, rich
orchestral color, and free rhythm.

was established by Arnold Schoenberg, the central figure of expressionism and one of the
members of the Second Viennese School.

early 20th century.

 In 1902, he composed Pelleas and Melisande Op. 5, his only symphonic poem for
large orchestra.
 In July 13, 1951 he died in Los Angeles, California, USA.

 This we have to know….

The new musical styles created by 20th century classical composers were truly
unique and innovative. They experimented with the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony,
tempo, timbre in during ways never attempted before. Some even made use of electronic
devices such as synthesizers, tape recorders, amplifiers, and the like to introduce and enhance
sounds. Beyond those available with traditional instruments. Among the resulting new styles
were electronic music and chance music. These expanded the concept of music far beyond
the conventions of earlier periods, and challeneged both the new composers and the listening
public.

Electronic music refers to the music produced by synthesizers and other electronic
instruments and devices.
Chance music is a 20th century music in which chance or undetermined elements are left
to the performer’s discretion. It gives the performers freedom to choose the order or to
arrange the structure of the piece.

As the 20th century progressed, so did the innovations in musical styles as seen in the
works of these composers. From France, Edgard Varese’s use of new instruments and
electronic resources led to his being known as the “Father of Electronic Music” and a
description of him as “The Stratospheric Colossus of Sound.” From Germany, there was
Karlheinz Stockhausen, who further experimented with electronic music and
musique concrete. Stockhausen’s electronic sounds revealed the rich musical
potential of modern technology. From the United States, there was
John Cage with his truly unconventional composition techniques.
Cage’s works feature the widest array of sound from the most
inventive sources.
