As far as 'classical' goes you may be right. Still, it will be loved and cared for if perhaps in a diminished role.
The world has been rapidly shrinking with each generation. With the influences of technology, media and culture how could we not expect the landscape to change? Before the industrial revolution the large majority of people lived their whole lives within fifty miles of where they were born. Consider how big a thing radio was in its golden age. To many Americans The Grand Ole Opry was really something to look forward to. In our era there is a bewildering choice of music that vies for our attention. When we are learning about music how do we know what is good and what isn't? Or how much we should care about that particular question?
Is it fair to say that we both view Bach and Beethovan as geniuses at what hey did? Mozart? How about this for a question ... Has the world seen the last of their like and will no longer produce sons and daughters of their stature? This is rhetorical of course.
