I got into music through jazz, so it always seemed natural to me to have a lot of technically-dissonant color tones hanging around that don’t need to resolve any particular way, or at all.

@ossobuffo@triangletoot.party I took a late-19th-century symphonies course in grad school with Robert Bailey, an expert in that era, who had a lot of interesting ideas. One that stuck with me is that the cliche of the “expansion of dissonance” through the late 19th century into the 20th has it all backwards. Consonance is what got expanded.
