Post-romanticism
In the history of music, post-romanticism is understood to be the period of transition or upheaval between romanticism and new music . During this time, different styles and techniques of composition were developed, some of which are used in contemporary music. The period of post-Romanticism can be narrowed down to the years from 1890 to 1930 .
