Thank you Steve, you spoke the absolute truth. Several times, by now,
I read in posts coming from the other side of the pond: I don't care
for Mozart, I don't like Beethoven, Tchaikovsky is boring etc. One
also reads quite enthusiastic posts about film music, band music,
advertisment jingles etc.
Then you ask why classical music is loosing ground?
As for me, any minute not spent playing Mozart or listening to Mozart
is a wasted minute of my life (slight exaggeration).
