Air Bed Discount Fitness Equipment discount fitness equipment Information
By the turn of the century and for the next few decades, artists of all
nationalities were
searching for exciting and different modes of
expression. Composers such as Arnold
Schoenberg explored unusual and
unorthodox harmonies and tonal schemes. French
composer Claude Debussy
was fascinated by Eastern music and the whole-tone scale,
and created a
style of music named after the movement in French painting called
Impressionism. Hungarian composer Béla Bartók continued in the
traditions of the still
strong Nationalist movement and fused the music
of Hungarian peasants with twentieth
century forms. Avant-garde
composers such as Edgard Varčse explored the manipulation
of rhythms
rather than the usual melodic/harmonic schemes. The tried and true genre of
the symphony, albeit somewhat modified by this time, attracted such
masters as Gustav
Mahler and Dmitri Shostakovich, while Igor Stravinsky
gave full rein to his manipulation
of kaleidoscopic rhythms and
instrumental colors throughout his extremely long and
varied career.
While many composers throughout the twentieth-century experimented in
new ways
With traditional instruments such as the "prepared piano" used
by American composer
John Cage, many of the twentieth-century's greatest
composers, such as Italian opera
composer Giacomo Puccini and the
Russian pianist/composer Sergei Rachmaninoff,
remained true to the
traditional forms of music history. In addition to new and eclectic
styles of musical trends, the twentieth century boasts numerous
composers whose
harmonic and melodic styles an average listener can
still easily appreciate and enjoy.
The advance of technology has also
had an enormous impact on the evolution of
music in this century, with
some composers using, for instance, the cassette player as a
compositional tool or electronically generated sounds alongside
classical instruments,
the use of computers to compose music, and so on.
