Impressionism in Music Mind Map Guide
Impressionism in music is a late nineteenth and early twentieth century style that used color, texture and suggestion rather than strict forms. It grew out of French painting and is most closely associated with Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. A useful mind map splits the topic into its main branches: the composers, the harmonic techniques, the instruments and the major works.
- Composers: Debussy, Ravel and their key contemporaries and influences
- Harmony: whole-tone scales, parallel chords and modal color
- Orchestration: timbre, mixed instrumental colors and soft dynamics
- Works: piano pieces, orchestral tone poems and their titles
- Context: the link to Impressionist painting and Symbolist poetry
Use the map to revise by covering one branch and recalling it from memory. To make a map from your own lecture notes or reading, try CogniGuide.
