Serialism, indeterminacy, experimental, electroacoustic, live electronics, spectralism, stochastic music, Fluxus, minimalism--those (and a few others) are the classical musics of the twentieth century.

Otherwise, the boundaries between rock, classical, and jazz were breaking down already in the sixties. And there are many musicians today who are quite simply uncategorizable along those lines. (You may already know that to find all the John Zorn albums in a store, you have to go to the classical, jazz, and rock bins. And Zbigniew Karkowski, if the store has any, will be in some generic bin labelled "Avant" or "Progressive" or some such.)

None of those boundariless people are going to sound like Jimmy Dorsey or Howard Hanson or Jimi Hendrix however.

Well, Jimi Hendrix, maybe!
