There are several problems all contributing to the decline of classical music and the arts in general. Let's start with The fact that public entertainment has changed in the past 50 years. Television. Used to be radio, public perfomance of music, reading, even broadcast and spectator sports all required an attention span much longer than just about anything today. I hate to mention it but reorded music was the first of the real criminals in reducing the attention span of the public. Had to fit a whole song on one side of a 78. Of course the most pernicious thing in the lastpart of the twentieth century was the coming of SESAME STREET. All those children exposed to and conditioned to 90 second segments with jumbled jump cuta in order not to bore the little monsters. Your PBS contributions helped pay for this sort of travesty.
Symphonies and large scale music require the ability to focus without strain. The cultural and media conditioning processes we have all allowed ourselves to be exposed to are a huge part of the problem.
