I'm interested in a wide variety of music but some of the contemorary efforts are not very entertaining. No doubt a lot of clever thought and work went into the composition, but I'm sorry, not for me. Many of the latest efforts make Stochhausen sound melodic!! But maybe others here can shed a more positive light on this situation?
What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
