List of modernist composers
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed Template:Use shortened footnotes Template:Composers by era The following is a list of modernist composers.
In music, modernism is an aesthetic stance underlying the period of change and development in musical language that occurred around the turn of the 20th century, a period of diverse reactions in challenging and reinterpreting older categories of music, innovations that led to new ways of organizing and approaching harmonic, melodic, sonic, and rhythmic aspects of music, and changes in aesthetic worldviews in close relation to the larger identifiable period of modernism in the arts of the time. The operative word most associated with it is "innovation".Template:Sfn Its leading feature is a "linguistic plurality", which is to say that no one music genre ever assumed a dominant position.Template:Sfn

Inherent within musical modernism is the conviction that music is not a static phenomenon defined by timeless truths and classical principles, but rather something which is intrinsically historical and developmental. Template:Em{{#if:|
