Abstract: A fifth of the 21st century is already behind us and the set of art music composed from 2001 to today is impressive. The current scenario raises many questions. How does the art music of the early 2000s differ - if it does - from that of the late twentieth century? Should we consider the twentieth century of ‘longue durée’ or do factors of discontinuity emerge? And is the alleged discontinuity between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in some way comparable to the major turning points in music history, such as, for instance, those that happened between the 16^th and 17^th centuries or between the 19^th and 20^thcenturies? And again: how does the contemporary corpus of Western Art Music interact with other genres? And how does it relate to the various contemporary arts, from literature to the visual arts, from cinema to architecture? What is the impact on musical creativity of new technologies, the Internet, new media, artificial intelligence? How are the relationships between organizers, publishers, composers, performers, critics, and audiences redefined? How can live music be promoted during a health emergency?

Some indications and numerous insights emerge in this volume which collects the proceedings of a study meeting promoted by the University of Naples "Federico II", which took place in streaming on April 13, 2021. It features Marco Bizzarini (Beyond the postmodern), Gianluigi Mattietti (Virtual and augmented reality), Mauro Montalbetti (Musical theater, current events and politics in the opera Haye: le parole la notte), Lisa La Pietra (The multidimensionality of the voice in the 21st century), Tommaso Rossi (Organizing music during the pandemic), Simona Frasca (The Neapolitan song between old technologies and contemporary practices).

A second forthcoming volume will add further details.
