Today, with the shock of the new worn off and the once-fearful dissonance now widely accepted, the score can be more easily appreciated for its extravagant invention of musical ideas and virtuosic use of instrumental sonorities to characterize both persons and actions. Further, in his use of a single germinal chord which pervades the entire score, Strauss anticipated a technique used by later 20th-century composers.\u003cbr\u003eNow a landmark of modern opera, \u003ci\u003eElektra\u003c\/i\u003e is among the best-known of Strauss's works.
