Question

Parisian music 100 years ago

Answer 1

Answer:

In the late 1880s - 1890s, a new trend arose in France, which became widespread at the beginning of the 20th century - impressionism. Musical impressionism revived certain national traditions - the desire for concreteness, programmatism, sophistication of style, and transparency of texture. After World War I, French art showed tendencies to deny German influence, the desire for novelty and, at the same time, for simplicity. At this time, under the influence of composer Eric Satie and critic Jean Cocteau, a creative association was formed, called the French Six, whose members opposed themselves not only to Wagnerianism, but also to the impressionist “vagueness.”
