### LET'S UNDERSTAND
Expressionism and Composers

Expressionism is an art movement that began in Germany during the twentieth century. It is a term that originated in the visual arts and was then applied to other arts, including music, before, during, and after World War I. In music, it is characterized by subjectivity, dissonance, and atonality. Expressionist composers poured strong emotional expression into their music and explored the boundaries of conventional harmony and form.
