And that has been the impulse composers have followed since then, each generation recasting the drama of the tale in the language of its own time.

Other 20th-century composers are following, in a slow and stealthy transformation of a seemingly motionless art.

The change in Haydn's approach was important in the history of classical music, as other composers were soon following his lead.

Numerous other composers, artists and writers followed suit, making synesthesia well-known among the artistic community of the day.

One of Mozart's experiments with the clarinet hit upon a combination so potent that composers since the 18th century have followed it enthusiastically.

Most modern composers, although by no means all of them, have followed this trend in the prima facie notation of their works.

Other composers, encouraged by the freedom created by the new lack of restriction on sacred music, soon followed Tchaikovsky's example.

The composer follows Hugo's narrative, describing the hero's journey through the vast steppes in the first movement.

Performers have been hesitant to take them on, and composers have rarely followed Britten's lead in writing for cello solo.

However, the composer followed them with six years of silence, in which the only work he produced was a new version of Dardanus (1744).
