MUSIC
Lesson 2

7. EXPRESSIONIS
M
• The term "Expressionism" was
originally used in visual and literary
arts.
• It was probably first applied to music
in 1918, especially to Schoenberg
because, like the painter Wassily
Kandinsky (1866–1944), he veered
away from "traditional forms of
beauty" to convey powerful feelings
in his music.
• Features of expressionism music are
as follows:

8. a high degree of dissonance (dissonance
is the quality of sounds that seems
unstable)
extreme contrasts of dynamics (from
pianissimo to fortissimo, very soft to very
loud)
constant changing of
textures
"distorted" melodies and
harmonies
angular melodies with
wide leaps

10. ARNOLD
SCHOENBERG
• Arnold Schoenberg was born on September 13, 1874 in
a working-class suburb of Vienna, Austria. He taught
himself music theory but took lessons in counterpoint.
• His works were greatly influenced by the German
composer Richard Wagner as evident in his symphonic
poem Pelleas et Melisande, Op. 5 (1903), a
counterpoint of Debussy's opera of the same title.
Verklarte Nacht
Three Pieces for Piano, op. 11
Pierrot Lunaire
Violin Concerto
Skandalkonzert, a concert of the Wiener
Konzertvere
His works include the following:

11. IGOR
STRAVINSKY
• Stravinsky was born in Lomonosov, Russia on June 17,
1882. In his early music, he reflected the influence of
his teacher, the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov. But in his first notable composition, "The
Firebird Suite (1910)," his skillful handling of material
and rhythmic inventiveness went beyond anything
written by his Russian predecessors.
• His musical style added a new flavor to his nationalistic
musical style. The Rite of Spring (1913) was another
superb work showcasing his new technique.
Ballet Petrouchka (1911
The Nightingale (1914)
Three Tales for Children (1917)
Pulcinella (1920)
Duo Concertant (1932)
The Rake's Progress (1951)
His works include the following:
