I haven't paid much attention to the last ten years of classical music's history, but that's naturally not what this thread is really about, given that Rautavaara has a wider audience than Webern (for instance).

Honestly I'm not sure if we should be making noise about the overall rejection of 20th-century classical music, since the world at large does not care about classical music. If today's composers want money, the best they can do is write music in the "style" of John Williams.

On the whole, I've given up caring about what the public thinks of classical music. It is still alive, so I fail to see why it shouldn't survive for centuries to come.
