| | 20th Century Music - An Alternative View |
 | | The rest of this article (polemic) is concerned with these composers and their unsung contribution to the only viable musical language that we have for this and the 21st Century. | | | Their individual and separate influence on 20th Century music is usually only understood from a purely European perspective. | | | One of the principal causes, lies in the linguistic diversity that is a hallmark of Twentieth Century Music. |

| | ipedia.com: Contemporary music Article |
| | Many contemporary composers working the early 21st century were prominent figures in the 20th century, including György Ligeti, Mauricio Kagel, Harrison Birtwistle, Elliot Carter, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, John Adams and Henri Dutilleux and many younger figures such as Oliver Knussen and Thomas Adès. | | | The lesson of obscure composers in the past becoming important later applies doubly so to contemporary music, where it is likely that there are "firsts" before the officially list first, and works which will be later admired as exemplars of style, which are as yet, unheralded in their own time. | | | A conceptualist work is an act whose musical importance draws from the frame, rather than the content of the work. |

| | What is Early Music? |
| | This is something which early music gives to contemporary music-making as a whole, something which may prove enormously productive as early music moves firmly into the popular consciousness of the 21st century. | | | By the 1950s, early music was a definite phenomenon, with such performers as Safford Cape, Alfred Deller, Noah Greenberg, etc. Since then, the number of early music performers has increased steadily, as has audience interest, to the point where early music sales are more or less equal to those of non-early classical music. | | | The context is European classical music, which had its best-known pieces written in the 1700s and 1800s, and so the "early" in early music means earlier than that. |

| | Commentary Magazine - Singing the Classical-Music Blues |
| | ...One need not always agree with his interpretations of those events in order to profit from his account of how European classical music took hold in a new world with sharply different cultural prioritiesas well as from his speculations regarding its prospects of survival in the 21st century... | | | ...But Horowitz, for all the enthusiasm with which he espouses his various musical causes, is for the most part an impressively fair-minded historian who takes care to avoid superimposing contemporary agendas on past events... | | | ...He writes about the music of now-obscure composers with properly judicious enthusiasm, placing their achievements in historical context and never praising them to inappropriate excess.6 More problematic, perhaps inevitably so, is Horowitzs attempt to sketch the outlines of a possible post-classical music of the future. |

| | This is something which early music gives to contemporary music-making as a whole, something which may prove enormously productive as early music moves firmly into the popular consciousness of the 21st century. | | | Their early entry into this repertory was facilitated by various embryonic musicological revival efforts in England in the 1800s and even notably the 1700s, and buoyed by interest in Renaissance music among early 20th century English composers. | | | By the 1950s, early music was a definite phenomenon, with such performers as Safford Cape, Alfred Deller, Noah Greenberg, etc. Since then, the number of early music performers has increased steadily, as has audience interest, to the point where early music sales are more or less equal to those of non-early classical music. |

| | Weekend Feedback: 10/25/02 |
| | If we feed them only tonal 18th- and 19th-century music as the classical music of the 20th and 21st century, then it is a relic and cannot attract those who respond to vibrant, modern pop music. | | | There is a general dislike and lack of belief in 20th-century classical composers. | | | Classical music can't compete by offering Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, etc. If we don't want to hear contemporary composers, then we are stultifying the music. |
