20th Century

The *20th-century* music genre encompasses a diverse range of styles that emerged throughout the 1900s, characterized by innovation, experimentation, and a break from traditional tonal structures. Emphasizing complexity, dissonance, and unconventional harmonies, this era saw the rise of atonality, minimalism, neoclassicism, and modernist orchestration. Composers explored new techniques, such as polytonality and serialism, while performances ranged from the expressive depth of orchestral works to avant-garde approaches. Featuring dynamic interplay between tradition and experimentation, *20th-century* music shaped the evolution of classical and contemporary compositions.
