Prominent composers of the orientation – Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Edgar Varèse, Herbert Eimert, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Luigi Nono – had a determinant role in the way music expanded. The literature mentions as early as the beginning of the 20th century the existence of creators with a true calling for identifying original solutions to permanently transform music, breaking its barriers and thus allowing it to develop, expression-wise, in a variety of directions.","PeriodicalId":177510,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII Performing Arts","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129537386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
