The essay presents an attempt at characterizing contemporary music's culture by identifying a dialectical tension between "modern" and "postmodern" currents in it. After initial considerations on the manifold usages of the term "postmodernism," five composers' approaches will be analyzed: John Cage, Philip Glass (and other minimalists), Bernhard Lang, Mauricio Kagel and Johannes Kreidler. However different they may be from one another, all these composers are being interpreted as undermining, in various ways, the practice and theoretical background of modernist avant-garde music
