Neoclassicism

Neoclassicism in music emerges as a significant genre in the 20th century, characterized by a marked return to the clarity, forms, and stylistic principles of earlier periods, particularly those of the Classical (1750-1820) and Baroque (1600-1750) eras. Emphasizing balance and structure, neoclassical composers like Igor Stravinsky and Paul Hindemith infused their compositions with a sense of order and emotional restraint, often employing traditional harmonic language and counterpoint alongside modern dissonances and rhythms. The genre serves as a counterbalance to the emotional excesses of Romanticism and the avant-garde tendencies of Modernism, reflecting a desire to reconnect with the past while still embracing contemporary techniques and sensibilities.
