Just taking a little straw poll here: what do listers consider the best pieces of music to come out of the 1920's?

My top 10, in no particular order:

Var�se: Octandre
Var�se: Arcana
Stravinsky: Octet for Winds
Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra
Berg: Wozzeck
Copland: Piano Concerto
Hindemith: Cardillac
Ruggles: Men and Mountains
Milhaud: La Cr�ation  du monde
Honegger: Pacific 231

I have a nagging feeling, though, that I've overlooked someone important. I'm sure other listers will catch whoever it is.

I'm also very aware that any such list is acutely sensitive to the exact definition of "best" and "piece," so that others may quite legitimately come up with lists that contain none of my entries.
