==20th century== [[Ottorino Respighi]] composed a number of tone poems in the 1910s and 1920s, notably three works on different aspects of the city of Rome. [[Gustav Holst]]'s ''[[The Planets]]'' is another well-known example, as is Russian composer [[Sergei Rachmaninoff]]'s [[Isle of the Dead (Rachmaninoff)|''Isle of the Dead'']]. [[Alban Berg]]'s ''[[Lyric Suite (Berg)|Lyric Suite]]'' was thought for years to be abstract music, but in 1977 it was discovered that it was in fact dedicated to [[Hanna Fuchs-Robettin]].{{sfn|Perle|1985|loc=18}} Important [[leitmotif]]s are based on the melodic series Aβ[[Bβ (musical note)|B]]β[[B (musical note)|H]]βF, which is their combined initials. The last movement also contains a setting of a poem by [[Charles Baudelaire]], suppressed by the composer for publication. Although written originally for the film ''[[Dangerous Moonlight]]'', British composer [[Richard Addinsell]]'s ''[[Warsaw Concerto]]'' is another famous example of programme music, and was one of the first pieces of orchestral music composed for a film to achieve popularity in concert halls as well.
