Summary/Abstract: If in the 1960s the practice of collective creation appeared in British theater, it can be said that music in the twentieth century was overwhelmed by such related procedures. It should not only be examined whether time-shifts are shown or this kind of manifestations concur in the two arts but also in how many ways and proportions is this principle expressed in the music literature of the century. Of course, this should be supported by specific musical works, by pointing out the composers who promulgate or apply the principle. In the field of theatre and music beside the parallels discovered in this subject, the phenomenon called ‘instrumental theatre’ as well can be regarded as a direct hit, a kind of synthesis genre.
