The compositions of American composer Charles Ives (1874–1954) are mostly modern classical music. Documenting his list of works is especially difficult, because he had a tendency not to date his works, or misdate them for some unknown reason. Additionally, he was very prolific, revised works multiple times, and left ambiguous fragments with no title or notes.
