This is a most intriguing topic, one which you know I am very interested in. The comment you reproduced, however, did not seem to be a real critique to me. Indeed, it incorporates a fundamental logical fallacy: drawing a parallel from present to past (e.g. “Beethoven was scorned by many leading lights of his time, therefore much contemporary classical music resisted now will ultimately take its place in the repertoire.”) I hope we can do a ~walk and talk~ on this topic or an Arts & Letters Salon brunch…
