@article{2019,title={AN INVESTIGATION OF CLASSICAL AND POSTMODERN MUSICAL WORKS THROUGH FORM ANALYSIS},abstractNode={The identifying distinctions of modernist works can be grouped in three categories; style, technique and thought. These differences are evident in music. In this study, the "comparative classical form analysis method" was applied by using "source scanning" and "document analysis" model. With the analysis method applied, the works were divided into sections and motifs. At the same time, the study is descriptive in that it aims to determine the relation between the Classical Period and Postmodern Period works and identify the characteristics of the Postmodern period. As a result of the analyzes carried out in the study, the Postmodern period is considered to be a mixed period ranging from the Modern to the Renaissance periods; it is regarded as Modern for showing the new techniques within itself; as Classical for defending the simplicity; as Romantic for showing the intensity of emotions in the works and as Renaissance according to motif analysis results. For this reason, the Postmodern Period, which is too hard to find a proper definition, was defined as "a distinctive period which covers all the periods until the present period and enables new developments within itself".},author={Mehmet Güneş AÇIKGÖZ-- Turan SAĞER},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
