	Polish Music Journal 3.1.00: Trochimczyk's Editorial
		Examples of harmonic discourses of accidental chromaticism may be found in Chopin's output from the second half of the 1820's and the 1830's (especially in the rondeaux, concerti, and variations), i.e., in types of his music linked to a conventional repertoire of pianistic-virtuosic figures of the stile brillante.
		In the case of the chromaticism of the "late" Chopin, one cannot speak of the "melodic," on the one hand, and of the "tonal-harmonic" on the other (traditional discourses of chromaticism); instead the discussion should focus on the melodic determinants of harmonic-tonal structures.
		Among the musical-formal categories associated with essential chromaticism in Chopin's music, and, particularly, in the melodic domain, one should distinguish between: (1) the existence of narrow-range categories of a motivic-thematic nature, (2) the phenomena of the mutual permeating of evolutionary and periodic structures of form, and (3) the tendency to blur the segmentation of phrasing.

	Chromatic scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Cope (1997) describes three forms of chromaticism: modulation, borrowed chords from secondary keys, and chromatic chords such as augmented sixth chords.
		Increased chromaticism is often cited as one of the main causes or signs of the "break down" of tonality, in the form of increased importance or use of:
		Susan McClary (1991) argues that chromaticism in operatic and sonata form narratives can often be understood as the "Other", racial, sexual, class or otherwise, to diatonicism's "male" self.

	Classic Period Music [M.Tevfik DORAK]
		Chromaticism in the Classical era: In Baroque music, chromaticism (the use of notes extraneous to the diatonic scale) was used freely for expressive effects at emotionally intense situations such as grief or lament especially in recitatives (opera, oratorio), cantata, and in instrumental program pieces.
		In the Classical style, melodic chromaticism was used frequently (especially by Mozart) to compensate for the underlying harmonic plainness.
		By the Viennese composers, chromaticism was used to interchange tonic major with minor (the modulatory use).

	The Music Chamber - Chromaticism
		This is because the old tonal system was designed to gravitate around its key center.
		Chromaticism served to dilute this effect with the added "outside" notes.
		Eventually, this lack of tonal focus grew to the point of atonality, where there was no longer any indentifiable tonal center.

		The basis on which Chopin's first experiences with chromaticism in melody were formed, was of course the chromatic scale. The first movement of Sonata in c minor op.
		4 (1928) is an example of an early, interpolational approach to chromaticism in melody. A similar type of chromaticism is present especially in the etiudes, in which Chopin used three brands of melodic-figurational accidental chromaticism (unisons, thirds, sixths). Use of such means is found in the following Etiudes: a minor op.

Examples of accidental chromaticism are supplied by Chopin's works from the second half of the twenties and from the thirties (especially rondos, concertos and variations), which employ conventional figures found in the resources of brillant style pianistic virtuosity.

	MUS 312 Form & Analysis, Study Guide M
		He carried to a conclusion the developments in chromaticism that had begun many decades earlier.
		The assault of chromaticism on the tonal system had led to the nonsystem of free atonality, and now Schönberg had developed a "method--he insisted it was not a system--of composing with twelve tones that are related only with one another."
		Many composers seem to have been convinced that atonality could best be achieved through some sort of regular recycling of the 12 pitch classes, but it was Schönberg who came up with the idea of arranging the 12 pitch classes into a particular series, or row, that would remain essentially constant throughout a composition.

		The purpose of this paper is to propose a new way of understanding Lassus’ use of chromaticism in the Prophetiae Sybillarum, and a method by which this music may be more easily and accurately analyzed.
		I believe that all of these analyses miss the mark in one basic respect: They deal with the work’s chromaticism as a basic structural element, rather than as a feature only of the musical surface.
		Essential chromaticism contains all chromatic tones necessitated by the rules of good counterpoint, while coloristic refers to all of the chromatic elements that are not.

	Music Folk Feature: Thinking Out with Chromatic Notes
		There are many ways to use chromaticism (any of the twelve notes as opposed to those within the scale) to add new flavors to your playing
		The easiest way to use chromaticism is through "passing notes" and "neighbor notes": notes that either fill the spaces between two notes (passing) or lie right above or below one note (neighbor).
		One typical phrase for passing notes would be such: in playing a phrase using a D note moving down to a C, add a C# (same as a Db) in between.

	20th-Century Music
		At the turn of the century, the artistic and intellectual centers were Paris -- France was undergoing La belle époque (1871-1914) -- and Vienna.
		The musical world was still dominated by the late romantic aesthetic, and in music one heard increasingly dramatic secondary dominants, modulations, altered chords -- all the expansions of tonality and chromaticism that ultimately would undermine that very tonality.
		In other words, patterns do urge us in directions, but amid the woven leitmotifs, there is no stable key area, and real resolution is postponed.
