Understanding how to show facets of "emotions gone awry" should be considered an extremely valuable, almost indispensable, tool for any modern composer. One of my favorite 20th century composers was George Rochberg (he also felt that the emotional palette of atonal compositions works was overly spare) who made use of both tonal and atonal building blocks in his later works - to great effect! I know I am partaking of great art when it causes me to sense the SIMULTANEOUS outpouring of the good and bad, the painful and the pleasurable, the joyful and the sorrowful aspects as they often exist (inseperably) in almost everything around us or inside of us. Beauty that both delights and sears at the same time can be very nice. A composer need'nt have been active after 1890 in order to have been successful at showing the true sweetness of "the sweet & sour", but the musical techniques exploited by the likes of Schoenberg, Berg, Ives, Messiaen, Schuller, and others might indeed help the composer of today during the production of works of profound and lasting(?) beauty.
