Our first report is about Comparative Styles of Debussy and Ravel
As the two major exponents of French Impressionism in music, Debussy and Ravel had crossed
paths during their lifetime although Debussy was thirteen years older than Ravel. While their
musical works sound quite similar in terms of their harmonic and textural characteristics, the
two differed greatly in their personalities and approach to music. Whereas Debussy was more
spontaneous and liberal in form, Ravel was very attentive to the classical norms of musical
structure and the compositional craftsmanship. Whereas Debussy was more casual in his
portrayal of visual imagery, Ravel was more formal and exacting in the development of his
motive ideas.

Our first composer is ARNOLD SCHOENBERG he was born on September 13, 1874, in a working-
class suburb of Vienna, Austria
He taught himself music theory, but took lessons in counterpoint.
German composer Richard Wagner influenced his work as evidenced by his symphonic poem
Pelleas et Melisande, Op 5 (1903), a counterpoint of Debussy’s opera of the same title.
Schoenberg’s style was constantly undergoing development. From the early influences of
Wagner, his tonal preference gradually turned to the dissonant and atonal, as he explored the
use of chromatic harmonies.

Although full of melodic and lyrical interest, his music is also extremely complex, creating heavy
demands on the listener, His works were met with extreme reactions, either strong hostility
from the general public or enthusiastic acclaim from this supporters.

And the next one in our list IGOR STRAVINSKY stands alongside fellow-composer Schoenberg,
painter Pablo Picasso, and literary figure James Joyce as one of the great trendsetters of the
20th century.
He was born in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov), Russia on June 17, 1882. Stravinsky's early
music reflected the influence of his teacher, the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. But
in his first successful masterpiece, The Firebird Suite (1910), composed for Diaghilev's Russian
Ballet, his skillful handling of material and rhythmic inventiveness went beyond anything
composed by his Russian predecessors. He added a new ingredient to his nationalistic musical
style. The Rite of Spring (1913) was another outstanding work. A new level of dissonance was
reached and the sense of tonality was practically abandoned. Asymmetrical rhythms
successfully portrayed the character of a solemn pagan rite. When he left the country for the
United States in 1939, Stravinsky slowly turned his back on Russian nationalism and cultivated
his neo-classical style.
[Main anchor]
Stravinsky adapted the forms of the 18th century with his contemporary style of writing.
Despite its "shocking" modernity, his music is also very structured, precise, controlled, full of
artifice, and theatricality. Other outstanding works include the ballet Petrouchka (1911),
featuring shifting rhythms and polytonality, a signature device of the c composer. The Rake's
Progress (1951), a full-length opera, alludes heavily to the Baroque and Classical styles of Bach
and Mozart through the use of the harpsichord, small orchestra, solo and ensemble numbers
with recitatives stringing together the different songs.
Stravinsky's musical output approximates 127 works, including concerti, orchestral music,
instrumental music, operas, ballets, solo vocal, and choral music. He died in New York City on
April 6, 1971.

OTHER MUSICAL STYLES
Primitivism
Primitivistic music is tonal through the asserting of one note as more important than Pthe
others. New sounds are synthesized from old ones by juxtaposing two simple events to create
a more complex new event.
Primitivism has links to Exoticism through the use of materials from other cultures,
Nationalism through the use of materials indigenous to specific countries, and Ethnicism
through the use of materials from European ethnic groups. Two well-known proponents of
this style were Stravinsky and Bela Bartok. It eventually evolved into Neo-classicism.
And for the next reporter [KYLJEION AND SHANON]
[KYLJEION]
Thank you [Oneness}
And the next composer is BELA BARTOK (1881-1945)
Bela Bartok was born in Nagyszentmiklos, Hungary (now Romania) on March 25, 1881, to
musical parents. He started piano lessons with his mother and later entered Budapest Royal
Academy of Music in 1899. He was inspired by the performance of Richard Strauss's Also Sprach
Zarathustra to write his first nationalistic poem, Kossuth in 1903. He was a concert pianist as he
travelled exploring the music of Hungarian peasants.
In 1906, with his fellow composer Kodaly, Bartok published his first collection of 20 Hungarian
folk songs. For the next decade, although his music was being badly received in his country, he
continued to explore Magyar folk songs. Later, he resumed his career as a concert pianist, while
composing several works for his own use.
[Shanon]
[NEXT SLIDE]
As a neo-classicist primitivist, and nationalist composer, Bartok used Hungarian folk themes and
rhythms, Also utilizing changing meters and strong syncopations.
His compositions were successful because of their rich melodies and lively rhythms. He admired
the musical styles of Liszt, Stauss, Debussy, and Stravinsky.
[KYLJEION]
[NEXT SLIDE]
He eventually shed their influences in favor of Hungarian folk and peasant themes. These later
became a major source of the themes of his works. Bartok is most famous for his Six String
Quartets (1908-1938). It represents the greatest achievement of his creative life, spanning a full
30 years for their completion. The six works combine difficult and dissonant music with
mysterious sounds.
The Concerto for Orchestra (1943), a five-movement work composed late in Bartok's life,
features the exceptional talents of its various soloists in an intricately constructed piece. The
short and popular Allegro Barbaro (1911) for solo piano is punctuated with swirling rhythms
and percussive chords, while Mikrokosmos (1926-1939), a set of six books containing
progressive technical piano pieces, introduced and familiarized the piano student with
contemporary harmony and rhythm.
His musical compositions total more or less 695 which include concerti, orchestral music, piano
music, instrumental music, dramatic music, choral music, and songs.
In 1940, the political developments in Hungary led Bartok to migrate to the United States,
where he died on September 26, 1945 in New York City, USA
SOME OF HIS WORKS ARE :
Six String Quartets
(1908-1938)
The Concerto for Concertas
(1943)
Allegro Barbaro
(1911)
Mikrokosmos
(1926-1939)

And before we proceed for the last composer Neo-Classicism
Neo-classicism was a moderating factor between the emotional excesses of the Romantic
period and the violent impulses of the soul in expressionism. It was, in essence, a partial
return to an earlier style of writing, particularly the tightly-knit form of the Classical period,
while combining tonal harmonies with slight dissonances. It also adopted a modern, freer use
of the seven-note diatonic scale. Examples of neo-classicism are Bela Bartok's Song of the
Bagpipe and Piano Sonata. In this latter piece, the classical three-movement format is
combined with ever-shifting time signatures, complex but exciting rhythmic patterns, as well
as harmonic dissonances that produce harsh chords. The neo-classicist style was also used by
composers such as Francis Poulenc, Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith, and Sergei
Prokofieff.

Thank you kyle
And finaly the last one on the list is SERGEI PROKOFIEFF (1891- 1953)
is regarded today as a combination of neo-classicist, technique, pulsating rhythms, melodic directness,
and a resolving dissonance
Born in the Ukraine in 1891. Prokofieff set out for the St. Petersburg Conservatory equipped with his
great talent as a composer and pianist, His early compositions were branded as avant garde and were
not approved by better acceptance of his creativity.
His contacts with Diaghilev and Stravinsky gave him the chance to write music for the ballet and opera,
notably the ballet Romeo and Juliet and the opera War and Peace. Much of Prokofieff’s opera was left
unfinished, due in part to offensive musical content. He became proific in writing symphonies, chamber
music, concerti, and solo instrumental music. He also wrote Peter and the wolf, A lighthearted
orchestral work intended for children, to appease the continuing government crackdown on avant garde
composers at the time.
He was highly successful in his piano music, as evidenced by the wide acceptance of his piano concerti
and sonatas, featuring toccata-like rhythms and biting harmonic dissonance within a classical form and
structure. Other significant compositions include the Symphony no.1 (also called Classical Symphonym),
his most accessible orchestral work linked to the combined styles of classicists Haydn and Mozart and
neo-classicist Stravinsky. He also composed violin sonatas, some of which are also performed on the
flute, two highly regarded violin concerti, and two string quartets inspired by Beethoven.
His musical compositions total more or less 695 which include concerti, orchestral music, piano music,
instrumental music, dramatic music, choral music, and songs. In 1940, The political developments.
SOME OF HIS WORKS ARE :
Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64
Montagues and Capulets
Peter and the wolf Op.67
L’amour des trois oranges, Op. 33
