Your ideas of what "contemporary" means are undocumented.
Oh come off it. I was clearly using the last of the senses cited above.
Note that it says "current; modern," but in music these are not
synonyms. Hovhaness is modern, but he is certainly not current, either
by pure chronology or by style. That's all I was saying, and it fits
the dictionary def. perfectly.
As I think you know perfectly well.
