 | | His music not only rested on his argument that there was no "music" or "noise" only "sound", and that combinations of found sound were musical events as well - but on the importance of focusing of attention and "framing" as essential to art. | | | Classical music also had an intense cross fertilization with jazz, with several composers being able to work in both genres, including George Gershwin. | | | Another prominent development is the extension of instrumental technique and timbre, for instance in the music of Helmut Lachenmann and Salvatore Sciarrino. |

| | Of course, secular music thrived during this period, and instrumental and dance music was performed in abundance, if not always written down. | | | French composer Claude Debussy was fascinated by Eastern music and the whole-tone scale, and created a style of music named after the movement in French painting called Impressionism. | | | During the same period, the first voice of the burgeoning Romantic musical ethic can be found in the music of Viennese composer Franz Schubert. |

| | A Comparison of Free Jazz to 20th-Century Classical Music |
| | This is especially apparent in Bartók's music, where the manipulation of patterns, or motives, often dictate the progress of a composition. | | | Thus a "school" of free jazz musicians was founded--the "energy-sound players"(Jost, 71)--which focused primarily on timbre as a parameter for musical expression. | | | John Zorn, too, in his composition "Forbidden Fruit," incorporates many kinds of music, mixing excerpts from Bartók and Beethoven with Japanese speech, tape manipulation, record scratching, and other things, in a manner, previously noted, that could be described as a "counterpoint" of different musical styles. |

| | I was nonplussed by his stuff at first (sampling 20th century classical to create music that structurally and sonically resembles 20th century classical?) but his style comes through when you actually listen, and as he goes on his range increases, I've grown to enjoy his music a great deal. | | | Sampling something like that was probably just a case of them wanting to appear musically literate, and edgy by association, considering that their song itself has nothing to do with WWII or its aftermath (although later Manics songs would deal with this). | | | Ole, you mentioning John Oswald reminded me of another John that works in the same ballpark, John Wall, who basically builds ALL his music out of samples of Xenakis, Nono, Schnittke, Feldman etc. |
