Impressionism Expressionism
The early half of the 20th century also gave rise to new musical
styles, which were not quite as extreme as the electronic, chance, and
minimalist styles that arose later. These new styles were impressionism,
expressionism, neo-classicism, avant-garde music, and modern
nationalism.
Several outstanding composers of the 20th century each made
their distinctive mark on the contemporary classical music styles that
developed. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel were the primary
exponents of impressionism, while Arnold Schoenberg was the primary
exponent of expressionism, with the use of the twelve-tone scale and
atonality. Bela Bartok was a neo-classical, modern nationalist, and a
primitivist composer who adopted Hungarian folk themes to
10
introduce rhythms with changing meters and heavy syncopation. Igor
Stravinsky was also an expressionist and a neo-classical composer. He
incorporated nationalistic elements in his music, known for his skillful
handling of materials and his rhythmic inventiveness.
