Nobody listens to new classical music. They listen to Beethoven and Mozart.
It’s the same with rock music. People want to listen to The Beatles, Stones, etc.
Amen, you said it so well.
Well this old fart will be enjoying Megadeath in person tonight;-)
You write, “Nobody listens to new classical music. They listen to Beethoven and Mozart.”
Around here the local classical music station out of the University plays some of the most horrific modern and atonal crap that one could imagine. I have tried to learn who listens to the station and have yet to encounter a person who does. I gather it is an “in your face” response to those who do love true classical music.
