It appears that is TRULY happening. Education is gone, radio play is gone, public funding is gone, audiences are gone. All concerts, all seats are $25 for all who wish to purchase them in Baltimore next year. You and I search out and purchase NEW Classical music, but the traditional "core" fans do not, and certainly potential new fans would not begin with the newest works. I think it's a done deal. When the oldsters pass on there will be no base for the music. Perhaps sometime in the distant future there will be a renewal, but by then the format of the genre will most likely have changed to shorter works, perhaps no longer even "linked to the tradition" that goes back through Beethoven and Bach etc. Neo-Classical. If there is a break in an evolutionary chain of style and influence, will a revival of "outwardly similar music" constitute a continuation of a tradition? Dunno.
