A look at the Boston Symphony programs for the forthcoming 2000-2001
season reveals that 29 0f the 63 compositions are from the twentieth
century, starting with Mahler's Fifth Symphony (1901).  And ending with a
commissioned oratorio by Golivov.(spelling?).  I did not count the Scriabin
Piano Concerto or Strauss' Don Juan because I was not sure of the dates.
