Features: The purpose of this book is to provide a concise overview of the more daring explorations in the field of music since 1945. Therefore, many major composers such as Britten, Cage, Copland, and Walton are not mentioned in the book, as their works are difficult to fit into my framework. The book also does not provide detailed introductions to individual figures, and I have no intention of discussing the complete works of any composer.
