Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well and having a great time. We have advanced a lot through the history of music. As you could see, every period has its own elements of interest. However, now we are ready to dive into one of the most thrilling periods in the history of music: the 20th century.

As you have seen, music languages open up as we move forward in history. The 20th century is going to become a melting pot where we can find a lot of different languages and aesthetics in music.

There is going to be a development of tonality that will result in a rupture of this system, appearing new ways to conceive music. As an answer to the radicalism of the new movements, some composers will look back to classical forms, trying to find the clarity and balance of early periods.

This unit is a bit longer than the previous ones, but the 20th century had more diversity than any other previous period in Western music. So I hope you look at this information with curiosity since there are many interesting things to learn about music!
