| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 20th Century witnessed one of the greatest shifts in classical music since the renaissance. Rules of tonality, structure, procedure and more were challenged and often rejected, opening a new realm of creative possibility. Atonality, indeterminancy, electronic sound generation or modification redefined the way music was composed. While much of the music of the 20th century grows out of a more conservative tradition, other works demand consideration of what music truly is. This book examines the major composers of the twentieth century, their works and their contributions and legacies. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
