I assume the wording "classical contemporary" is deliberate, but it sounds all wrong. Shouldn't it be "contemporary classical" aka "modern classical"?
They also use it once in the article. Is this a widely used naming convention for this type of music?
- odyssey7 3y agoAlthough the general meanings of modern and contemporary are similar, in art they have different meanings. The production of modern art is considered to have ended in the 20th century, and contemporary art is being produced right now. For a similar historical nomenclature, see the musical style ars nova or "new art." Ars nova continues to be called ars nova, even though the music was written in the 14th century.
