Neoclassicism

Neoclassicism is a 20th-century music genre that draws inspiration from the music of the Classical period (1750-1820). It is characterized by a return to the principles of balance, clarity, and economy of material, as well as a focus on formal structures and the use of traditional tonality. Neoclassical composers often use traditional forms such as sonata form, rondo, and variations, as well as modern techniques such as polytonality and atonality. The music often has a strong sense of drama and tension, and often features virtuosic displays of technique.
