Editing Music of the 20th Century (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''20th Century Music''' — The diverse period of Western art music from roughly 1900 to 2000.
* '''Atonality''' — Music that has no "Home Key" and uses all 12 notes of the scale equally (pioneered by Arnold Schoenberg).
* '''Minimalism''' — A style that uses very small musical ideas that repeat and change slowly over time (e.g., Philip Glass, Steve Reich).
* '''Igor Stravinsky''' — The Russian composer whose "Rite of Spring" caused a literal riot in Paris because of its strange rhythms.
* '''Electronic Music''' — Music created using synthesizers, tape recorders, and computers.
* '''Chance Music (Aleatoric)''' — Music where some elements are left to chance (e.g., John Cage's '4'33' where the music is just the silence of the room).
* '''Neoclassicism''' — A 20th-century movement that tried to return to the "Balance" of the 1700s but with modern "Spices."
* '''Impressionism''' — A style (like Debussy) that focused on "Color" and "Mood" rather than clear structures.
* '''Jazz Influence''' — The integration of African-American rhythms and harmonies into "Classical" concert music (e.g., George Gershwin).
* '''Dissonance''' — "Clashing" notes that were used in the 20th century as a normal tool, rather than something to be "Fixed."
