| Name of Composer | Year | Noted Accomplishment |
|-------------------|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Claude Debussy | 1875-1937 | His creative style was characterized by his unique approach to various musical elements. His harmonic progressions and modulations are musically satisfying, pleasantly dissonant, and elegantly sophisticated. |
| Arnold Schoenberg | 1874-1951 | His works featured shifting rhythms and polytonality, and a new level of dissonance. A sense of tonality was abandoned. |
| Igor Stravinsky | 1881-1945 | He utilized changing meters and strong syncopations in his compositions, which have rich melodies and lively rhythms. |
| Sergei Prokofiev | 1891-1953 | His compositions had a coolly elegant modernity, tempered by a classical sense of proportion. |
| George Gershwin | 1899-1937 | He is a cross-over artist because his serious compositions remain highly popular in the classical repertoire. |
| Leonard Bernstein | 1918-1990 | He explored the territories of ballet, opera, theater, film, and television jingles. |
| Philip Glass | | |
