MODERNISM OR MODERNITY?
MODERNISM OR MODERNITY?

Summary/Abstract: If the term modern is framework-concept and modernism - an attitude marked by exaggerations and experimentations, modernity is both a creative concept and a stylistic era that encompasses post-romantic aesthetic trends. Adrian Marino admirably expresses the essence of modernity, in his study Modern, Modernism, Modernity: "To rise to the universal, through transfiguration and creative crystallization the modern ephemeral - this is the real and profound modernity of art and literature and, at the same time, the technique of achieving this modernity”. Essentially, musical modernity primarily involves the separation of the expressive semantics of the stress-relaxation arc, generated by harmonic and tonal functionality, and also the renouncement at thematic elements which is a fundamental creation principle in tonal music.
