Avant-garde and Sound Revolutions: Futurism, Expressionism, and Twelve-tone Music (1910-1935)

Music becomes the language of modernity. Luigi Russolo, with the Manifesto of Noise, inaugurates the poetics of industrial sound; Schönberg, Berg, and Webern establish twelve-tone music and serial logic. Stravinsky, with The Rite of Spring, revolutionizes rhythm and form, while Edgard Varèse and Hindemith transform composition into sound architecture.
