Modern music can be defined as music of the 20th century, but what Bill
described was really sounding like serial/12 tone music.....is this true
Bill? Because, even the most frenetic sounding tonal 20th c. composition
by either Copland or Stravinksy sounds tonal compared to a lot of the 12
tone music we hear from other composers.
