Abstract (EN)

Life was getting interesting for people at the beginning of the 20th century. Technological innovations of the new age have made life much more comfortable. Similar improvements have started to take place very rapidly in field of art. The music of that century has also affected by these extremely rapid changes. Schonberg?s technique of 12 tones, Stravinsky?s sophisticated rhythms and Penderecki?s technique of writing notes can be counted as good examples for the innovational changes in music. The most influential change at this age was hidden in the way of using the instruments in a musical piece. Composers have preffered to reflect their musical thoughts by using sound effects. Besides, classical technique of writing notes was replaced by graphical notation. Composers have inspired from the newly invented machines and tried to imitate their sounds by using the instruments. It?s quite obvious that Honegger has strongly inspired from a train in his work named ?Pacific 231? and from sports in ?Rugby? which he wrote in 1928. Prokofiev has composed his balet ?The Steel Step? in 1918 before he came back to Russia in 1934. This piece constitutes a celebration fort he industrial revolution. Alban Berg?s opera of ?Wozzeck? which was written at the beginning of that epoch was one of the most significant pieces. In this opera which was composed in a free atonal style, one way observe all the niceties and details of the modern orchestral view. The rising of the graphical notation has also brought new playing techniques in violin. The innovations in using bow have raeched to the peak in that epoch.
