Tone color

Rhythm, phrase, dynamics, accent, and tone color are largely freed
from direct dependence on tonal motion because of Debussy's
ambiguities. Thus, they tend to gain an importance in the musical
process almost equal to that of melody and harmony. One may find
individual sound patterns and even isolated sounds which seem to
create their own context.
Igor Stravinsky
Rhythm
o The binding energy is much more rhythmic than harmonic, and the
driving pulsations of "The Rite" marked a crucial change in the nature
of Western music. Stravinsky, however, left it to others to use that
change in the most obvious manner.
o primitive and brutal rhythmic patterns. The resulting complexities
included the consecutive use of widely varying metric
patterns and polyphony of widely differing rhythmic strata.
The syncopations of jazz rhythms were often imitated. In many
instances, rhythm constituted the single most important element in
Stravinsky's musical fabric.
Melody(absent)
Harmony
o use of polymeter (two meters at one time), as well as harmonic
innovation. But it was the last, the Rite of Spring, that has made the
biggest mark on music history.
Texture
o Stravinsky's music, even in his late period, is flavored with abrupt
formal juxtapositions and polarized texture.
Tone color
o exploited tone color to its utmost in both large and small instrumental
combinations. Typical examples of his unusual scoring include the
elimination of all the violins, violas, and clarinets
Schoenberg
Tone color

heard in blues records from the 1920s[5] and in country records of the 1930s,
[4] the genre did not acquire its name until the 1950s.[6][7]
The term "rock and roll" now has at least two different meanings, both in
common usage: referring to the first wave of music that originated in the US
in the 1950s and would later develop into the more encompassing
international style known as "rock music", and as a term simply synonymous
with the rock music and culture in the broad sense.[8] For the purpose of
differentiation, this article deals with the first definition.
