In terms of numbers, the second group have always been the great majority. But, according to Professor Pan Hwang-long of the National Institute of the Arts (also president of the China-Taipei section of the International Society for Contemporary Music), "composers still mainly followed their own direction, and no particular Taiwanese style of music emerged."
在人數的多寡方面，一直是後者佔大多數；然而，根據藝術學院教授、兼國際現代音樂協會中華總會理事長的潘皇龍的觀察，「作曲家還是以個人身分活躍的方式為主，並沒有所謂台灣風格的音樂出現。」
