Music of the
th
20
Century
History
20th century classical music was extremely varied and thus there was no
dominant style. However, a salient feature in classical music during this
period was the increased use of dissonance.The 20th century is
sometimes called the "Dissonant Period" of classical music, because
much of its music was a reaction to, or against, the common practice
period.
Debussy
Achille-Claude Debussy (French pronunciation: [aʃil klod dəbysi]) (August 22, 1862 – March
25, 1918) was a French composer. He was one of the most prominent figures working within
the field of impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to
his compositions.[1] Debussy is not only among the most important of all French composers
but also a central figure in European music at the turn of the twentieth century. He was made
Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1903 [1].

Impressionism
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose
association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them
to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the movement is derived
from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil
levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review
published in Le Charivari.

Arnold Schoenberg
Arnold Schoenberg was an Austrian and later American composer, associated with the
expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese
School. He used the spelling Schönberg until after his move to the United States in 1934
(Steinberg 1995, 463), "in deference to American practice" (Foss 1951, 401), though one
writer claims he made the change a year earlier (Ross 2007, 45).

Expressionism
Expressionism was a cultural movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in
Germany at the start of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world under an
utterly subjective perspective, violently distorting it to obtain an emotional effect and vividly
transmit personal moods and ideas.
