Modern Music Sandwich

Yesterday's free etnachta concert sandiched two odern peices between Shubert and Mendlessohn. The first was Debussy, who has stayed on concert programs for a hundred years. The second, a piece by an Israeli composer, was farther from the classical but not aggressively clashy. One problem I have with modern music is there's nothing I can remember in a piece, no bits of meoldy or rhythm that I have mental hooks for.
