I'm sorry, there is a really cool book, Contemporary Etudes for Contrabass, which I have, I didn't see the book for sale except in Australia

Thanks @damonsmith ! Much appreciated. I’ll follow them up.

The Rabbath books have much more challenging repertoire and have Rabbath compositions, which are definitely 20th c.

Lauren is incredible, Rabbath is great, but not the answer to this question (in the same way my Vivaldi post wasn't). Just being written in a time doesn't mean that it is what the OP is asking for, it is more free than Bach, but still focuses on beauty. 20th and 21th music was about exploring what music has beyond beauty, or about what happens when beauty and at times even aesthetics are not primary goals.
This is important to find new ideas, once the ideas are located, they can be used for many things including making beautiful music.

I think you have a different modernist conception of 20th c. music than I do, or maybe a different understanding of Rabbath! There's always been music that focuses on things other than beauty -- transcendence in particular but not just that -- and there still is. I don't see Terry Riley as not a 20th c. composer because he takes so much inspiration from Sufi music. But fair enough regarding what the OP may want.

BTW and relatedly Bozo Paradzik has been transcribing a wonderful set of miniatures by Hertl Hertl 30 Miniatu - @bozoparadzik

You can find the sheet music on his website. All proceeds go to Hertl's daughter.

Well, this post has taken off, and introduced me to many interesting things. That Rabbath piece, Poucha Dass, is interesting, and as ever, Lauren nails it. Also intriguing that she has position markers - this does not seem common, and I doubt she needs them, but interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for all the recommendations. How much of it will be at my early level remains to be seen, but you have opened up doors for me.

So does Edgar Meyer. If you want to try them out, but on the down low:

Yeah, but Riley has some hardcore stuff in his Body of work! His duos with Scodanibbio were great. Even in C is pretty radical for the time.

I always think his Clapping is spoiled by the audience clapping out of time afterwards!
