	THE HIGH HAT \| POPS & CLICKS: 20th Century Essentials
		The lists are generally skewed toward one style or another, tilted geographically, or slanted towards certain genres or decades.
		The last half of the century was beset by intensive “style wars” wherein critics and composers wed to one style or another attempted to marginalize the supporters and practitioners of other styles — to silence them(3).
		There is an arbitrary limit of three pieces by any one composer, and most of the composers listed could have different pieces on this list and more on a longer list.

	Romantics Unbound \| Romanticism Studies--Music
		s with poets, writers, and painters, musicians of the late 18th and early 19th centuries were influenced by the historical, social, political, and aesthetic "revolutions" of the era, attempting to capture the essence of the age as well as (re)create that essence through musical expression.
		They reacted against the formal Classicism of the eighteenth century in which such composers as Mozart and Haydn created absolute music or pure music for music's sake, drama was found mainly in opera, and the personality of the soloist was subsumed by the composition and orchestra as a whole.
		Yes, high Romantic music dominated the 19th century; however, Romanticism is also representative of a mood and style that reappears in various forms in the 20th century, a rather difficult century to categorize neatly and conveniently, even for the sake of study.

		Improvisation in classical music performance was far more common during the Baroque era, and recently the performance of such music by modern classical musicians has been enriched by a revival of the old improvisational practices.

	20th century classical music at AllExperts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An important feature of 20th century concert music is the existence of the splitting of the audience into traditional and avant-garde, with many figures prominent in one world considered minor or unacceptable in the other.
		Many prominent composers — among them Dmitri Kabalevsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, Maurice Ravel, and Benjamin Britten — made significant advances in style and technique while still employing a melodic, harmonic, structural and textural language which was related to that of the 19th century and quite accessible to the average listener.
		In the early part of the 20th century modernist composers such as George Antheil and others produced music that was shocking to audiences of the time for its disregard or flaunting of musical conventions.

	What do you think about musical works in the 20th century? - Classical Music Meetups
		Before the 20th Century composers served either patrons, the church, or a larger music public (in the 19th Century their public expanded to entire nations).
		When composers write music only in order to show up novelty or shock audeience, their works would not be survived, but some works written by composers of avant-garde that time seemed to obtain audience more and more.
		These composers expressed in extreme or candid words a philosophy that was shared by most of the moderns of the 20th Century: i.e.

	MICROCOSMS: Eclecticism
		Composers throughout the century have extensively utilized a great diversity of new techniques and new styles in their music, and although the term is frequently used to define certain music in the second half of the century, this text will expand the meaning to include several categories.
		It generally takes many years for composers to establish themselves and their work in the concert hall, so it is not unexpected for all of the composers cited thus far to share one common element: they were all born between 1851 and 1950.
		It is likely that future surveys of 20th century music will include their work as "standards" of the 20th century (and the 21st).

		Note that the process of assigning a composer to a period can get rather subjective, as some composers "bridge" two periods (like Beethoven!) and others wrote in either a very old fashioned or very "modern" way (for their times) and might really fall into an earlier or later period than most of their contemporaries.
