Final answer:

Tourism did not lead to the shattering of musical traditions in Balinese gamelan, which maintained its traditional elements despite any influence from tourism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The influence of tourism on Balinese gamelan music in the early twentieth century did not result in the shattering of musical traditions, which is more associated with modernist movements in Western music. While tourism has had many effects on Balinese culture,

the impact on gamelan was more about adapting to the interests of tourists, potentially altering repertoires or performance contexts to cater to a foreign audience, rather than disrupting the traditional scales, notes, and tempos of the music.

The modernist movement in Western music during the same era sought to defy listeners' expectations through radical changes, but this did not directly pertain to the gamelan tradition in Bali.
