3. Generalization
-The 20th century styles of impressionism and expressionism provided composers
with the opportunity to express their thoughts based on outside impressions as well
as ideas and expressions based on their inner convictions.
-Other forms that emanated included neo-classicism, which is a return to the classical
form and structure using modern harmonies and techniques of composition; avant
garde, which deals with the parameters of sound in space; and Modern Nationalism,
which is a combination of nationalist thematic materials with the modern
techniques of composition.
