Articles needing attention

• 20th century classical music: the article is a mess. (Requires a rewrite and the addition of sources.)
  • Update - new Introduction section has been added to replace that awful list. Article still needs work, though.
• Postmodern music: article merged with Postmodern classical music and still needs a lot of work to Wikify.
• Quartal and quintal harmony: Confusion of definition and (apparently) irrelevent material; also, musical examples are often off-topic or otherwise unhelpful.
• Graphic notation: good but requires expansion
• Extended technique: needs more detail
• Microtonal music: tagged with cleanup and personal reflection. Also contains a certain amount of apparently irrelevent material which needs to be better integrated (eg Enharmonicity)
• Elliott Carter's Second String Quartet: Please expand
• Morton Feldman: needs a great deal of expansion
• Vinko Globokar: expand
• Salvatore Sciarrino: expand
• Pedro Vilarroig: near-autobiography needing massive reworking to meet Wiki's standards of NPOV and NOR.
• Iannis Xenakis: not enough on his life post-1960 nor on his music generally.
• Olly Wilson: start class needing expansion.
• Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: expand by translating dk:Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen.
• Hugues Dufourt: expand by translating fr:Hugues Dufourt.
