1. PRIMITIVISM OTHER MUSICAL STYLES

2. Primitivistic music is tonal through the stressing of one note as more important than the others. New sounds are synthesized from old ones by juxtaposing two simple events to create a more complex new event. It its purest form, primitivism combines two familiar or simple ideas together creating new sounds. Primitivism has links to Exoticism through the use of materials from other cultures, to Nationalism through the use of materials indigenous to specific countries, and to Ethnicism through the use of materials from European ethnic groups. Two well-known proponents of this style were Stravinsky and Bela Bartok. It eventually evolved into Neoclassicism.

3. Bela Bartok(1881-1945) He  is famous for his Six String Quartets. This represent the greatest achievement of his creative life, spanning a full 30 years for their completion. Bartok’s approximately 700 musical composition include concerti, orchestral music, piano music and songs.

It was, in essence a partial return to an earlier style of writing, particularly the tightly-knit form of the Classical period, while combining tonal harmonies with slight dissonances.
