Ideas :

Influence of folk music/folk idioms on 20 th-century composers

Relationship to past—forms, musical procedures, acceptance/rejection of musical past,sense of connection to tradition

Changing role of the composer, return of composer/performer especially post 1960 withinminimalist & experimentalist settings (John Cage was also a pioneer in this sense)

Exploration of new approaches to pitch systems, notation systems, musical organization

Exploration of new technologies, new sounds, sound sources

Role of the performer in 20th century music, sometimes as co-creator
