Austro-German Modernism

Austro-German Modernism is a style of music that emerged in the early 20th century in Austria and Germany. It is characterized by its use of dissonance, chromaticism, and extended tonal structures. It is often seen as a reaction to the more traditional forms of music of the time, such as Romanticism and Classicism. It is also known for its use of atonality and polytonality, as well as its exploration of new forms of musical expression. Notable composers of Austro-German Modernism include Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern.
