The article presents information on the European music. The most general way that this compositional image is reflected is in the contrast between the variety, extent and range on the surface of every activity. The tendency of the most interesting young performers to be composer-oriented results in a still more significant relation between performance and current compositional tendencies. Among American performers, this orientation is manifest not only in the sense that they play new music, but also in their development from its viewpoint of performances of the entire literature. The European musicians or listeners, musical predilections demand more exacting perceptual and formal challenges.
