I think, however, that apart from a few musicians, musicologists, and composers most people consider music by Stockhausen, Ligeti, and Xenakis to be "contemporary music." It seems to be more like a genre tag than a chronology issue, I think. Might there be a difference between the terminology that we professionals use and the terms that the wider public uses? Good point!

Can we really call these works contemporary if (except for the Haas) there are between 30 and 50 years old?
