ABOUT THE ERAS
• Linage: – Early Music: Medieval & Renaissance– Baroque– Classical– Romantic– 20th Century: Impressionist– 21st Century
![Page 63: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROMANTIC ERA
• Romantic (1830 - 1920)– Music from the Romantic period is characterized by its
much greater passion and expression than that of earlier periods. Romantic works display an expansion of form (like the key and instrumentation of a piece).
– Characteristics of Romantic music include:• Freer form and more personal expression of emotion• Emphasis on lyrical melodies and themes• More modulation (change in key) to unexpected keys: the
overall effect of this is that it is harder for the listener to predict what will happen next in the piece
![Page 64: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROMANTIC ERA (CONTD.)
• More chromaticism and scales other than major/minor• Greater variety in pitch, dynamics, and rhythm• Less traditional chord progressions• Program music: more pieces inspired by literary/artistic
sources• Greater emphasis on nationalism: many composers
infused cultural songs or dances into their works
![Page 65: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA
• Contemporary (1920 - present):– The most conspicuous differentiation between
classical music in the Contemporary period and in previous periods is the shift in tone. Whereas music from the Common Practice Period was largely tonal, much Contemporary music is atonal.
– Contemporary classical music can be divided into:• 20th-century Contemporary Classical Music:
![Page 66: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA (CONTD.)
• Tone Colour:• During the 20th century, tone colour has become a more
important element of music then it was ever before. It has a major role: creating variety, continuity and mood.
• In modern music, noise-like and percussive sounds are often used and instruments are often played at the very top or the very bottom of their register. Uncommon playing techniques have become normal. Flutter-tongueing and other special techniques are also employed to make 20th century music distinctive.
![Page 67: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA (CONTD.)
• Percussion instruments rose in importance in the 20th century. 20th century composers are interested in unusual rhythms. Celestas, wood block and xylophone are a few. Composers sometimes made use of noise makers such as sirens and typewriters to add colour to the music. Piano is no longer used to provide the lyrical and singing tone of the Romantic. They are now used for percussive or Jazz effect.
![Page 68: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA (CONTD.)
• Modern orchestral and chamber works often sound transparent. Individual tone colours are heard clearly. To bring the individuality of the different melodic lines that are played simultaneously. The composer will also assign different parts to instruments of different timbre in order to bring out their colours.
• In the 20th century, instruments are not place into strict groups. Usage of instruments are all up to the composer's whim. It may be as little as 1 person and it may be as much as one thousand.
![Page 69: Pictures at an Exhibition Study for Cxc](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/540ef6de7bef0adb268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA (CONTD.)
• Harmony:• Consonance are no longer in use in the 20th century. Dissonance became
very important an infact most of the piece is made up of dissonant chords. in the 20th century one would not get the final fufillment one expects. On the whole, 20th century music sound fantasy like, distant and mystifying.
• • Chord Structures:• Chords are never as fundemental as it is in previous centuries. Polychords
are created by placing one traditional chord over another.• Fourth chords are also employed they are chords made up of notes that are
a fourth apart instead of the usual three.• Tone cluster is also created. Chords are made up of notes who are
semitones apart it can be produced by striking on the piano a group of adjacent keys.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ERA (CONTD.)
• Rhythm:• The rhythmic vocabulary of the 20th century was exoanded with
increased emphasis on irregularity and unpredictability. Meters can change every bar or so having an effect of imbalance.
• We may count:1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3 and so on.• Polyrhythm may also be employed. It is similar to Brahm's cross
rhythms with one voice playing 1-2, 1-2 and the other voice playing 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
• Melody:• Melody is very elusive in the 20th century. Composers advocated
atonality ( non-melodic sort of composition ) and melodies that can be sung or hummed is very few.

ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS (CONTD.)
PROMENADE• Stasov comment: In this piece Mussorgsky depicts
himself "roving through the exhibition, now leisurely, now briskly in order to come close to a picture that had attracted his attention, and at times sadly, thinking of his departed friend."

ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS (CONTD.)
NO. 1 "GNOMUS“ (The Gnome)• Hartmann's sketch, now lost, is thought to
represent a design for a nutcracker displaying large teeth. The lurching music, in contrasting tempos with frequent stops and starts, suggests the movements of the gnome.

ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS (CONTD.)
NO. 3 "TUILERIES" (DISPUTE D'ENFANTS APRÈS JEUX) :- (Dispute between Children at Play)
• Hartmann's picture of the Jardin des Tuileries near the Louvre in Paris (France) is now lost. Figures of children quarrelling and playing in the garden were likely added by the artist for scale (see note on No. 2 above).
• The movement is cast in through-composed ternary form (ABA).

ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS (CONTD.)
NO. 4 "BYDŁO“ (Cattle)• Key: G-sharp minor• Meter: 2/4• Tempo: Sempre moderato, pesante.• Stasov comment: "A Polish cart on enormous wheels, drawn
by oxen."• The movement is cast in through-composed ternary form
(ABA) with coda. Mussorgsky's original piano version of this movement begins fortissimo (ff), suggesting that the lumbering oxcart's journey begins in the listener's foreground.

ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS (CONTD.)
NO. 4 "BYDŁO“ (Cattle)• After reaching a climax (con tutta forza) the dynamic
marking is abruptly piano (bar 47), followed by a diminuendo to a final pianissimo (ppp), suggesting the oxcart receding into the distance. Arrangements based on Rimsky-Korsakov's edition, such as Ravel's, begin quietly, build gradually (crescendo) to fortissimo, and then undergo a diminuendo, suggesting the oxcart approaching, passing the listener, and then receding.
