Russian modern classical music is a richly diverse and innovative genre that emerged from the late 19th and 20th centuries, extending into contemporary times. This genre encompasses a wide array of styles, from the lush, expressive romanticism of Sergei Lyapunov to the avant-garde experiments of Ivan Wyschnegradsky and the complex, profound works of Dmitri Shostakovich and Alfred Schnittke. Influenced by Russian folk traditions, political changes, and a desire to push the boundaries of musical expression, composers within this genre often experimented with tonality, rhythm, and harmonic structures, creating music that is at once challenging and deeply expressive. Stravinsky's revolutionary scores and Shostakovich's deeply emotional symphonies exemplify the tension between innovation and tradition, the personal and the political, that characterizes Russian modern classical music.
