Xenakis wrote some of the most thrilling and appealing music of the past century—for me anyway. On the other hand, the music of Wagner is dull and generally overhyped, and i have given up trying to like it.

I imagine your opinion is exactly the same as mine, just with the names reversed :D


Have to admit of the composers i like i don't have the faintest idea which ones are dodecaphonic and which ones aren't, without looking at the liner notes that is. The methods a composer uses to construct their works are relevant only to them in my opinion—the results are what matter. Stravinsky's "serial" works are among my favourite music ever written, though. especially Threni, Movements, Requiem Canticles (which hopelessly dogged my steps in attempting to write my first choral work).

Schoenberg was no slouch either. i've never warmed in particular to the Boulezerie, but Petrassi's serial works have always struck me as quite underrated.
