American composers

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.

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

Composers that were born in Russia, or gained the Russian nationality.

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