Association for Contemporary Music Association for Contemporary Music (ACM) (Russian: ACM - Ассоциация Современной Музыки , "ASM - Assotsiatsiya Sovremennoy Muzyki") was an alternative organization of Russian composers interested in avant-garde music. It was founded by Nikolai Roslavets in 1923. ACM ran concert series and published magazines promoting the modernist music of Mahler, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Krenek, and Hindemith, as well as the work of its members. Its leading members were Dmitri Shostakovich, Nikolai Myaskovsky, Vissarion Shebalin, Alexander Mosolov, Gavriil Popov, and Vladimir Shcherbachev. The organization's enthusiasm for avant-garde Western music and for experimentation met with opposition from the Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians (RAPM), which by the late 1920s had eclipsed the ACM in terms of cultural influence. Both organizations existed until 23 April 1932, when they were abolished by the Decree on the Reformation of Literary and Artistic Organizations.

Sonata Sonata ( ; Italian: ] , pl. "sonate"; from Latin and Italian: "sonare", "to sound"), in music, literally means a piece "played" as opposed to a cantata (Latin and Italian "cantare", "to sing"), a piece "sung". The term evolved through the history of music, designating a variety of forms until the Classical era, when it took on increasing importance, and is vague. By the early 19th century, it came to represent a principle of composing large-scale works. It was applied to most instrumental genres and regarded—alongside the fugue—as one of two fundamental methods of organizing, interpreting and analyzing concert music. Though the musical style of sonatas has changed since the Classical era, most 20th- and 21st-century sonatas still maintain the same structure.
