Modern composition, a genre often associated with contemporary classical music, has been shaping the landscape of music since the early 20th century. Rooted in the exploration of new musical languages and techniques, this genre represents a rich tapestry of innovation and tradition, merging classical sensibilities with modern sensibilities and technology..
The history of modern composition is deeply intertwined with the evolution of music theory and practice. It emerged as composers began to challenge the norms established by classical music, pushing boundaries through dissonance, unconventional structures, and a heightened focus on texture and timbre. Early pioneers like Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky laid the groundwork for this genre, introducing concepts such as atonality and serialism. As the 20th century progressed, composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich further expanded the genre through minimalism and repetitive structures.
