| | Contemporary classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the early part of the 20th century contemporary music included modernism, the twelve tone technique, atonality, futurism, primitivism, constructivism, New Objectivity, unresolved and greater amounts of dissonance, rhythmic complexity, nationalism, social and socialist realism, and neoclassicism. |
 | | Contemporary music composition has been altered with growing force by computers in composition, which allow for composers to listen to renderings of their scores before performance, compose by layering performed parts over each other and to disseminate scores over the internet. |
 | | There are a number of festivals dedicated to contemporary music, among them the Gaudeamus Foundation Music Week in Amsterdam, Warsaw Autumn in Poland, Salzburg Aspekte, the Donaueschingen Festival of Contemporary Music, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and the Winnipeg New Music Festival (the largest attended new music festival in the world). |
