In my opinion, some is and some isn't. I'd say the 4th piano concerto, the
Paganini Rhapsody, and especially the Symphonic Dances are more modern than
late-Romantic, but that's just the way I hear them. Certainly, I can't
find anything harmonically 19th-century about the opening to the Symphonic
Dances.
