Polystylism is the use of multiple styles or techniques of music, and is seen as a postmodern characteristic.
Some prominent contemporary composers commonly listed as polystylist include Ciarán Farrell, Lera Auerbach, Yitzhak Yedid, Sofia Gubaidulina, George Rochberg, Alfred Schnittke, Django Bates and John Zorn. However, Gubaidulina, among others, has rejected the term as not applicable to her work.
