Description
During the 20th century, social changes combined with new technologies created a mass market for popular music and contributed to how music was created, shared, and appreciated. The advancement of technology had a huge impact on the evolution of music. Twentieth century music is very different than the music of previous centuries because musicians had more freedom to be creative. Musicians were very open to change and incorporated many aspects of the African culture. African music had a big influence on 20th century music, quickly became part of American culture, and helped lead to the creation of some of the genres now recognized as jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. These recordings range from Prokofiev and Shostakovich to the wonderful French piano music of Satie, Ravel and others. You can hear the jazz influences also in the Circul Polka for a Young Elephant by the witty Stravinsky.
