Personally I like the classical music generated from the 18th through the 19th century. Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Mozart, etc, etc. This period is where the modern foundations of harmony, composition and rhythm originated. I also like that all of this was brought up and then completely torn down in the 20th century.

Dr. Video Games 0081 posted:In what way were those foundations torn down? A later composer cannot negate an earlier composer's work by composing more music. And the 2nd Viennese School which inaugurated the projects of twelve-tone and serial music saw themselves as being in a lineage that stretched back to Haydn and came down to them through Mahler. AND it's not like the great music from the 20th century even gets played enough at concerts compared to music from the 19th. They weren't torn down in the sense that it completely destroyed the concepts I alluded to. Cage and Stockhausen are good examples. What these composers did was make people think about what they knew about Western music and while they never took off in the mainstream they did have a significant amount of influence on subsequent composers. This is obviously my take on it and it can't be quantified. Miles Davis's work in the late 60s and early 70s is probably the best example.
