Any attempt to outline (however succinctly) all the musical events of the 20th century would require a very general approach to the subject – to say the least. The succession of artistic currents, from Modern Music to New Music and the Avant-Garde, occurred irrespective of any constant evolutionary process. The characteristics (technical, expressive, social relevance) of each strand often exhausted themselves in a process of self-destruction or, alternatively, assumed positions of pre-eminence that were excessive when viewed against the real scope of the message. Some of these currents were essentially sustained merely by a strong element of musical personalism, linked to composers who were as brilliant as they were well-versed in the organizational systems that favoured the spread and production of their works. The instrumentalists, who by then had become performers of rare dexterity, found that the composers of the last century were keen to make them perform the functions of ‘co-authors’ and ‘decipherers’ of new musical codes. This in turn exponentially increased the personalism, offering even more stratified perspectives. An interest in the instruments’ new technical potential and range of effects became almost compulsive, to the extent that the strictly musical value of the text was marginalised.
