Impressionist

Impressionist music, flourishing primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterized by its focus on atmosphere, mood, and tone color. Artists in this genre often favor fluidity and expressiveness over rigid structures, creating music that is evocative and rich in texture. The use of unconventional scales, lush harmonies, and innovative piano techniques provides a sense of ethereal beauty and introspection. Composers like Rita Strohl and Joseph Jongen explore delicate nuances and subtle shifts in dynamics to mirror the changing hues of nature and emotion. This approach often results in pieces that are both dreamlike and vividly evocative, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the sensory experience of the music.
