Contrast (music)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In music and musical form, contrast is the difference between parts or different instrument sounds. The three types of contrast are rhythmic contrast, melodic contrast, and harmonic contrast.[1] Procedures of contrast include stratification, juxtaposition, and interpolation. Procedures of connection include gradation, amalgamation, and dissolution.
Contrast is not only a way of adding interest, but is essential to the aesthetic illusion of dramatic resolution of conflict.[2]
