In Reply to: new Classical compositions... posted by layman on April 6, 2007 at 11:03:20:
The public will never recover from the hit it has taken in funding and support for formal music education recently combined with the shift of the cultural attention span away from much of what Classical music has to offer. Everything has become disposable, and that trend is likely to continue forever. This planet is an every-more-chaotic beehive. The "academic settings" may be an oasis for now, but that will most likely change in the future. In the end, all educational institutions are either businesses or publically funded entities. These are fundamental shifts -- tectonic cultural plates. We must all find a safe place to hide.
