…and other such "contemporary" or "new music" composers.
Is anyone into this stuff? Know of any others?

Shönberg, wasn't he the first, or one of the first major
twelve-tone composers? Only wrote 20 min. worth of music or
something? I could be wrong 'bout that. I don't know if i've
heard his work, but I do have sheet music for
somethingorother.

he invented the twelve-tone scale. i dont know how to say it
in english but it is called "dodécaphonisme" is french. i
think he wrote much more than 20 minutes of music. but maybe
you meant "worth listening too". i guess that would be a
personal choice. stockhausen used schönbergs concepts of
"dodécaphonisme" and extended them to rythm and form.

sorry about the typos and stuff.

don't worry about the typos. I might be wrong about the 20
minutes thing, I just remember hearing or seeing somewhere
that despite his major ideological contributions to music
composition and theory, he didn't actually publish a lot of
music.

Having just now looked at the encyclopaedia, that hearsay
seems unfounded.
