Description
Avant-Garde classical composers shun the old masters and Schoenberg's twelve-tone theory, incorporating non-traditional structures, instruments and approaches into the classical tradition. Composer John Cage used chance operations to determine the structure of his compositions, while Harry Partch designed his own instruments. Countless Avant-Garde composers included electronic instrumentation in their music.
