“Modern classical music” is an oxymoron. Classical music has withstood the test of time. The avant-garde crap being peddled today as “modern music” won’t last past next leap year.

Thank you. Exactly. What a conceit, to write something and call it "classical". Its a classic when generations have past and it is still beautiful and its still means something to people.

I wonder, was there not music written contemporaneous with the “classics we love” that was “bad” and hence, long forgotten?
