| Abstract | Covers 220 musicians who have been writing music since January 1, 1900. Many are no longer alive, and some belong to traditions and backgrounds long since vanished. Others, however, are a cross-section of every significant trend and movement in twentieth century music from impressionism to serialism, from neoromanticism to neodadaism. Included among traditionalists, innovators, eclectics, and romanticists are composers who stand in the vanguard of the avant-garde: those who are doing significant work with aleatory music, electronic music, directional music, organized sound, and other modern methods of composition. |
