Wikipedia
"Musical composition is:  an original piece of music  |  the structure of a musical piece  | the process of creating a new piece of music  |  Musical compositions  -  Composition as musical form  -  Composing music  -  Compositional instrumentation  -  Recomposition  | 

"A piece of music exists in the form of a written composition in musical notation or as a single acoustic event (a live performance or recorded track). If composed before being performed, music can be performed from memory, through written musical notation, or through a combination of both. Compositions comprise musical elements, which vary widely from person to person and between cultures. Improvisation is the act of composing immediately before or during the performance, assembling musical elements "spontaneously and eruptedly."

The Music Of Jeffery Cotton / Blog
"That's the wonderful thing about the internet: I can express myself as I wish to all the world, in full confidence that even fewer people than usual will pay attention."  |  " This is a list of essays and commentaries by Jeffery Cotton.

Some of these were written by request, others are expanded versions of program notes, other simply rants."  |

Pierre Boulez in conversation with Joshua Cody
Few would have imagined upon hearing the premiere of Pierre Boulez's 1956 work Le Marteau sans maître, a stunningly violent setting of poetry by René Char, that this most iconoclastic of European avant-garde composers would one day be conducting the great orchestras of the world. 

   It is this tension between two personae—on the one hand, the most revolutionary aesthetician since Schoenberg; on the other, a reconciler, the bourgeois apologist for the extremes of the avant-garde—that have made him the most important figure in postwar classical music.

Construal of Musical Process Architecture
We have perhaps become used to certain ways of articulating time in music as composers, performers and listeners.  Principally this is a function of the archetypal forms that we have learnt to manipulate through a variety of technical means.   It is also a function of duration.  Both these elements are central to many of the received structures of musical expression we have learnt and this acceptance is an assumption which needs addressing.   By way of an example, how many single movement pieces lasting over an hour can you name? How many lasting about ten minutes?   |

ARTICLE: Serialism overview (Princeton)
Ideas inherited by Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez, Heri Pousseur, and other fellow composers in the 1950's from earlier composers and teachers like Arnold Schoenberg Oliver Messiaen and especially Anton von Webern led to the style of compositional experimentation known in the literature as total or integral serialism. |  In ",,how time passes..." ([Stockhausen1957]), Stockhausen frequently speaks of "serial principles", or the application of the "serial system" to a given set of elements of musical material | Yet these principles, and this system, are never defined by him  |

Avant-garde Composers  Heard Music Of The Future
The Elements Of Music Became The Captives Of Revolutionaries! 
Explore the music art-forms of avant-garde composers!

 
 
When I was studying  composition - Stockhausen ,  ,BoulezBerioNonoTakemitsuLigeti
&  other  20th Century composers  -  comprised the "avant-garde"  or  "experimental" generation 
of composers.
..
Composers of the time experimented with a new music language:  (Integral Serialism (Wikipedia),  Pointilism, Textures, non-metric  & dissonant  intervals used melodically & harmonically in all 
registers of an instrument or voice.

..
..

The Avant-garde provided  music "ahead of its time".  Music composition in today's world explores
music stucture much more freely. Is your music avant-garde to today's listeners?

..
..

Be true to your creative skills, intuitive mind, sense of musical rightness. Your mind's ear  has the 
seeds of greatness and unheard musicality.

..
..

Dare to be truly original. Your musical honesty and probing artistry will create music of great excellence!
