David Bruce Composer | A Brief History of 20th Century Classical Music (Tetris-style) @DBruce | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
Where the timeline of classical music history was more or less a line, a series of relatively consistent and coherent approaches one after another, classical music in the 20th century was more like a complicated game of Tetris, a bunch of interlocking and overlapping pieces. So why not visualise it as one! That's what I did in this video.
