SUB-GENRES:

Recommend deletion of "Contemporary" as a sub-genre, since it best applies to works of the later 20th-century beginning with the post-1945 Avant-garde.

"Modern" is a more-inclusive sub-genre applicable to all works after Late Romantic and Impressionist musics. But they overlap, such that a recent "Contemporary" composer may be writing "modern" works in a "Post-Romantic" or "Impressionist" style.

Stylistically, Prokofiev is more conservative (and less-"Contemporary") than most other composers of similar life-spans.
