Late 19th and Early 20 Century Music History, Art & Design Assignment Homework Help

Only need about 100 words for each of the following questions.

1. 
Debussy, Nocturnes, from Nuages. How does Debussy’s treatment of harmony
differ from linear progressions of tension and resolution characteristic of
most nineteenth-century music? Include at least two specific references to the
score (with measure numbers!) to illustrate your point.

2. Stravinsky,
excerpts from The Rite of Spring: “Dance
of the Adolescent Girls” and “Sacrificial Dance”. With
Rite of Spring Stravinsky created a work that is sui generis, a
genre unto itself. What musical features make this piece unlike any other work we have heard so far in this course? What
features does this piece share with Debussy’s Nuages (NAWM 156)? What features make this a good example of fauvisme (or
primitivism)? Lastly, why do you think
the first performance caused a riot?

3. Schoenberg’s
Nacht, Berg’s Wozzeck, and Webern’s
Symphony, Op. 21. Of the three musical revolutions we are looking
at (Impressionism, Primitivism, and Expressionism), only Expressionism is truly
atonal. How do you respond
to atonality, to the lack of a tonal center? Is there anything you can find to
enjoy in this music, or does it turn you off completely? Why would these composers
choose to write music like this?
