Crumb had a highly personal musical language that rejected the modernist usage of..?

  • Serialism

  • Impressionism

  • Pointillism

  • Mineralism

Answer

Serialism is a modernist musical technique in which the pitch, duration, dynamics, and other elements of a composition are organized according to a predetermined system. Crumb's music, on the other hand, is characterized by its use of folk music, jazz, and other non-Western musical elements. As a result, his music has a more personal and expressive quality than much of the modernist music of his time.
