Early modern classical music, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, embodies a period of experimentation and transition from the Romantic era towards new musical languages that would define the 20th century. Composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Prokofiev infused their works with innovation, utilizing unconventional rhythms and harmonies while often drawing on nationalistic themes. The eclectic George Gershwin blended classical with jazz influences, while Erik Satie's minimalist and avant-garde compositions broke free from the grand Romantic tradition, leading towards a more abstract and introspective sound. Comprising a diverse range of styles, early modern classical music marks a pivotal era of evolution in classical music, as it ventured into uncharted territories, expanding the boundaries of orchestration, form, and tonality.
