	Channel 4 - Howard Goodall's 20th Century Greats
		Here, now, in the first decade of the 21st century, music is once again becoming something that belongs to everyone – it is at last shaking off the tribal loyalties that throughout the 20th century divided it up into 'popular' and 'classical', or what classical commentators used to call, rather patronisingly, 'light' and 'serious'.
		The strange thing is that until the beginning of the 20th century no such division really existed.
		In the early years of the century, classical musicians began dismantling the very building blocks of music itself – keys, notes, harmonies – the lot.

		20th century classical music was extremely diverse, ranging from the late Romantic style of Sergei Rachmaninov, to expressionism (Berg, Webern), aleatoric music and indeterminacy (Cage), the complete serialism of Pierre Boulez, and from the simple triadic harmonies of minimalist composers such as Philip Glass to the musique concrète pioneered by Pierre Schaeffer.
		Music along these lines was written throughout the 20th century, and continues to be written today.

	A Comparison of Free Jazz to 20th-Century Classical Music
		Just as 20th-century classical music extends and separates itself from the tonal language of traditional classical music, so too free jazz "frees" itself from the conventions of functional tonality: "In traditional jazz, the primary purpose of the theme or tune is to provide a harmonic and metrical framework as a basis for improvisation.
		Complexity in classical music would eventually reach a point where it began extending the boundaries of its tonal language, as in Wagner's "Tristan," which delays resolution in the piece to an extent that no clear tonic is ever established, paving the way for gradual developments in the direction of atonality and the 12-tone system.
		Qualities of folk music are also present in 20th-century classical music as in that of Ligeti, in his use of Hungarian scales in his "Piano Concerto," and in the use of folkloric motifs in his "Violin Concerto," which employs stylized descending motifs of Hungarian music representing grief.
