I agree with the Debussy. He actually wrote what could be called the first music in "20th century style" the "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune" or Prelude of an afternoon of a fawn. It broke the lock of the romantic style and paved the way for others to take changes.
20th Century Composers
OK, since this seems like a top ten kind of week. Name the three most influential composers of the 20th century?
1. Anton Webern, just because he is.
2. J. Brahms, because virtually all movie composers in the 20th century all have Brahms on their brain when composing.
(ok some of them have R. Strauss upstairs,too) Yes I know he died in 1897 but his influence is still felt today
3. Van Morrison, for creating the most lustful rock anthem of all time, Gloria (Hendrix loved doing this song in concert, and so did Jim Morrison)
