The possibility of that happening really wasn't that unrealistic. They're lucky that they caught that! I'm optomistic to see more NEW classical pieces. I think part of the lack of interest lately has been because there are no longer any Edgar Vareses, or John Cages - people that used the most advanced of technologies available to them to create and enhance their works. Phillip Glass is practically in that field by himself! |
