The Western art music canon is a collection of musical works that are considered to be the most important and influential in the history of Western music. It is typically defined by a focus on European composers and musical traditions, and it has been critiqued for its lack of diversity and representation.In recent years, there has been a growing movement to queer the Western art music canon.
