Today’s Music by Today’s Composers.
The Eclecticism by Schnittke.
From the 1950’s onwards classical music is characterized by a multitude of styles. Today we pay attention to a composer who took this eclecticism as a basis for his music: Alfred Schnittke. His works are influenced by baroque music, popular music and tango, and many other styles.
