LESSON 1
IMPRESSIONISM
RODUCTION
INT
The styles of modern songs can be traced back from the
20th Century. The innovative and experimental styles of the
20th Century Music are the influences of the genius
composers such as Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Arnold
Schoenberg, Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofieff, and
George Gershwin. Coming from different nations such as
France, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and the United States, these
composers clearly reflected the growing globalization of
musical styles in the 20th century.

MAURICE
RAVEL
Joseph Maurice Ravel was born in Ciboure,
France, to a Basque mother and a Swiss
father. At age 14, he entered the Paris
Conservatory, where he was musically
nurtured by a prominent French composer,
Gabriel Faure. The compositional style of
Ravel is mainly characterized by its
distinctively innovative but not atonal style
(music that is written in a way that is not
based on any particular key) of harmonic
treatment.
MAURICE
RAVEL
His works are defined with intricate and
sometimes modal melodies and extended
chordal components. It demands
considerable technical virtuosity from the
performer, which is the character, ability, or
skill of a virtuoso—a person who is
exemplary in musical technique or
execution.
MAURICE
RAVEL
Ravel's works include the
following: • Pavane for a Dead
Princess (1899) • String Quartet
(1903) • Sonatine for Piano
(c.1904) • Rhapsodie Espagnole •
Bolero
