Summary Of This Week

Before this whole thing of modernism I knew who was Igor Stravinski, the russian compositor, he used atonalism and serialism to make all his music; I also knew who was Claude Debusy, french compositor, and what was modernism but only in music. I learned how and when was modernism in art, architecture, and the definition. Beign different is what modernism is all about, such as Holden in the Catcher in the Rye, always trying to be different from the rest and making everyone look like phonies. I'll need to review everything that has to do with the definition, I don't understand it very well, and I'll need also yo investigate a little more about The Catcher in the Rye and modernism, so I can make some new connections.
