In music[edit]

Post-romanticism inmusicrefers to composers who wrote classical symphonies, operas, and songs in transitional style that constituted a blend of late romantic and early modernist musical languages. Arthur Bergerdescribed the mysticism ofLa Jeune Franceas post-Romanticism rather thanneo-Romanticism.^[6]

Post-romantic composers created music that used traditional forms combined with advancedharmony.Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabjicreated post-romantic nocturnes that used unconventional harmonic language andBéla Bartók,for example, "in suchStrauss-influenced works asDuke Bluebeard's Castle",may be described as having still used"dissonance['such intervals as fourths and sevenths'] in traditional forms of music for purposes of post-romantic expression, not simply always as an appeal to the primal art of sound ".^[7]
