Modern composers

Composers that were born in the USA, or gained the American nationality.

Composers who also play the viola and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.

It is sometimes hard to tell when to call a composer modern, as opposed to Romantic. In general you can say that the Moder Eara in music started around the year 1900. However, many composers continued to write pieces in a romantic fashion long after that.
