Hell, you could even throw Richard Strauss in there!
We're talking about Steve Reich before Igor Stravinsky?

Dvorak is a 20th century composer? Why, because he lived until 1904? I don't get it.
Good calls. Stravinsky doesn't get any love on this forum. I also thoroughly endorse your mentioning of Ligeti. What a great composer. His requiem and Lontano are especially worth mentioning.
