Good video - well intentioned I bet - though Bela Bartok was born in Romania not in Hungary - Austria :-) He was after all a Romanian citizen who identified as Hungarian through his parents' ethnicity - my ex wife for instance does the same. She was born to a Hungarian dad and Romanian mum in Romania but if you asked her she'd tell she's Hungarian. She can't speak a word of Hungarian and visited Budapest twice in her life. :-) Go figure...

I'm a very new composer, my work hasn't yet been published. If anyone would be interested to check out some of my pieces on my channel that would be great. Thank you

But where's Nobuo Uematsu

Nice video, good coverage of all styles. If you don't mind, I'd like to throw forward three more names: Sergei Rachmaninoff, Leo Ornstein, and Marc-Andre Hamelin. Great job.

@DrStabkill The composers in this video range from 20th century composers to modern-day composers. I think the most obvious composers of new/avant guard music that I can think of at the top of my head are Steve Reich, Terry Riley (look up "in C"), and John Cage (look up "4'33"). I'm a clarinetist, so I can strongly recommend Eric Mandat who writes AMAZING experimental music for clarinet, using quarter tones and polyphonics, or even playing it like a flute.

Thanks for this. I was looking for something exactly this since Im trying to broaden my knowledge of contemporary composers.

Well done, I enjoyed this fully and believe it will enlighten many classical music fans and broaden their fascination with the music. Thank you
