Paragraph 5


It is not uncommon for music aficionados to fail to realize that seemingly recent innovations have ancient origins.

Q. Nevertheless, chromaticism in music dates back to ancient Greece.
R. In ancient Greek music, chromatic intervals would be used to introduce color or texture to a
piece of music.
S. For example, fans of classical music often regard chromaticism as a recent development in
music.
T. They associate it with twentieth-century composer Arnold Schoenberg, the most famous recent
