There were several actually. Bartok expanded the timbres of the orchestra by introducing new playing techniques such as snap pizzacato on the strings. Prokofiev introduced his philosophy that the piano was a percussive instrument. Shostakovich experimented with new dissonant harmonies and using the extremes of the instruments' ranges and dynamics. Schoenberg came along with his twelve-tone row theory, which paved the way for atonal composition. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring was partially based on these principles, and it was so far-fetched that it caused a riot at its premiere. Webern established the Second Viennese school and took the concept of atonality even farther. Finally, John Cage and other contemporaries started experiementing at the fringes of contemporary music, which included using fishing string to play the strings on a piano and other bizarre techniques.
