However, he adopted elements of modernism after 1940 in some of his compositions, such as an increased use of dissonance and chromaticism in the ''Cello Concerto (Barber), Cello Concerto'' (1945) and ''Medea's Dance of Vengeance'' (1955); and the use of tonal ambiguity and a narrow use of serialism in his ''Piano Sonata (Barber), Piano Sonata'' (1949), ''Prayers of Kierkegaard ...
