 | | Neo-classicism, in music, means the movement in the <b>20thb> <b>centuryb> to return to a revived "common practice" harmony, mixed with greater dissonance and rhythm, as the basic point of departure for music. | | | An important feature of <b>20thb> <b>centuryb> concert music is the existence of the splitting of the audience into traditional and avant-garde, with many figures prominent in one world considered minor or unacceptable in the other. | | | In the early part of the <b>20thb> <b>centuryb> modernist composers such as George Antheil and others produced music that was shocking to audiences of the time for its disregard or flaunting of musical conventions. |

| | Of course, secular music thrived during this period, and instrumental and dance music was performed in abundance, if not always written down. | | | 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. | | | During the same period, the first voice of the burgeoning Romantic musical ethic can be found in the music of Viennese composer Franz Schubert. |

| | Music from the <b>classicalb> age—the Western historical period of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven—is <b>classicalb> music. | | | Today the term chamber music is applied to a type of <b>classicalb> music that is written for small groups of instruments. | | | in a narrow sense, the music of the Turkish military establishment, particularly of the Janissaries, an elite corps of royal bodyguards (disbanded 1826); in a broad sense, a particular repertory of European music the military aspect of which derives from conscious imitation of the music of the Janissaries. |

| | A Comparison of Free Jazz to <b>20thb>-<b>Centuryb> <b>Classicalb> Music |
| | Qualities of folk music are also present in <b>20thb>-<b>centuryb> <b>classicalb> music as in that of Ligeti, in his use of Hungarian scales in his "Piano Concerto," and in the use of folkloric motifs in his "Violin Concerto," which employs stylized descending motifs of Hungarian music representing grief. | | | Just as <b>20thb>-<b>centuryb> <b>classicalb> music extends and separates itself from the tonal language of traditional <b>classicalb> music, so too free jazz "frees" itself from the conventions of functional tonality: "In traditional jazz, the primary purpose of the theme or tune is to provide a harmonic and metrical framework as a basis for improvisation. | | | Complexity in <b>classicalb> music would eventually reach a point where it began extending the boundaries of its tonal language, as in Wagner's "Tristan," which delays resolution in the piece to an extent that no clear tonic is ever established, paving the way for gradual developments in the direction of atonality and the 12-tone system. |

| | Despite the <b>centuryb>'s reputation for experimenting, in terms of the instruments, the orchestral make-up, operatic form, pedagogical matters, and more, <b>20thb>-<b>centuryb> music does not drastically break from the past. | | | Eventually Schoenberg would sum up <b>20thb>-<b>centuryb> music as "the emancipation of the dissonance," composing music with no tonal center at all in which all notes are equally related. | | | At the turn of the <b>centuryb>, Western music had been distinguished traditionally by functional tonality, what we might loosely call a system whereby music is constructed on a basic scale formation, major or minor, within which hierarchies of sound (intervals, chords) prevail, expressed as points of stability and instability. |
