In music it would be Beethoven, Bach or Stravinsky. All your moderns didn't invent--they merely transformed/converted/subverted existing formats. Prove me wrong. Have a nice day.
Nor did your Beethoven etc....
If you want to get specific and down to the nitty gritty of originators of music....
The true originators of music would be the Neanderthal peoples who first tapped sticks and stones together to make rudimentary tribal beats!!
As for artists we can go back to the Australian Aboriginals whom have the oldest existing cave/rock paintings on Earth which date back 30,000 plus years!
