THE AUGMENTED TONALITY IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY MUSIC

Summary/Abstract: The appeal to the tonality from the first half of the 20th century occurs in the cultural areas where thecontact with the tradition is tighter and there is no stress on the originality of the artistic expression,originality that in the Eastern European music tends to substitute the artistic through the underestimationor deconstruction of the already existing musical languages. On the contrary, the Russian musical cultureis open to any formula that would enrich the sonorous universe, admitting in the area of the tonalitysystems certain sonorous organization specific to ethnic traditions or even more, European ones. In thisway the tonality is not removed, nor is it only just surviving in this context. It undertakes mixtures,incisions, grafting, allusions, thus generating an ethos of a particular specificity.
