England and music called "classical": an apogee during the Renaissance (Locke, Byrd, Thallis etc.), and then, in the late 19th and early 20th, Elgar and Vaughan Williams. And the twentieth: Arnold, Bryan Havergal, etc., also composing film scores (reading, among What I Know, the brittanic Music). And as the great lighthouse Dover Benjamin Britten: there his operas, his orchestral music, but it is in his quartets we not believe his ears: he managed to introduce into the string quartet - kind musical venerable among all - sounds never heard before: in short, to paraphrase Robert Schumann: Gentlemen, Hat, a genius (ab Hut, meine Herren, ein Genie).
