Igor Stravinsky
Musical shifts in this era:
 FRANCE
o Debussy Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune (1894) was shocking with fluid harmony
and indistinct structure and tonality
o Satie (1866-1925) loosened the edges of music and introduced musical surrealism
and Dadaism
 AUSTRIA/GERMANY
o Even in 1880s Liszt was experimenting with 'harmony of the future': Bagatelle sans
tonalite and Nuages gris using whole tone scales
o Mahler, Strauss and Schoenberg escaping the confines of functional harmony
 RUSSIA
o Scriabin used exotic harmony, exploring dissonance, and interest in sonority. Poem
of Ecstasy (1909)
 USA
o Charles Ives: musical collages before leaving tonality behind in The Unanswered
Question (1906)
 Russian nationalistic music vs Germanic music
o Uses repetition instead of development
o Contrasting ‘blocks’ of sound
o Changing backgrounds
o Colouristic effect
