Style

There is no specific musical style that characterizes the music of the New Venice movement: their music is varied and includes influences from serialism (e.g., the music of Rubin de Cervin and his disciple, Sinopoli) and musical elements from jazz are evident (e.g., the music of Baratello) with a strong emphasis on modern polyphony.
