2.2. Impressionism In Music
At the end of the 19
th
century new concepts of melody, harmony, rhythm,
colour, tonality and form were in the air, and musicians everywhere were
seeking ways to apply them.
As far as form was concerned, impressionism rejected the grand
architecture of classical tradition in music, seeking forms that would capture the
fluidity and charm of improvisation of dreamlike sounds.
The elements of impressionistic approach to music can already be traced
to the music of Liszt, Mussorgsky, Bizet and others.
A corresponding modification occurred in rhythm.
The continuous flow from one measure to the next is most characteristic
of impressionistic music. This mosaic-like structure makes the style full of
intimacy.
“I love music passionately”, Debussy wrote, “and because I love it I try to
free it from the traditions that had lost their freshness a long time ago. Music is a
free art, an open-air art, an art boundless as the wind, the sky, the sea”.
It would be wrong to suppose that impressionism in music appeared
exclusively due to Debussy, though.
GLOSSARY
capture -1. to take by force. 2. to represent or record in lasting form.
fluidity - the quality or state of being fluid.
mosaic - a picture or decoration made of small, usually colored pieces of
