"We sometimes hear talk about the music of the future. But the music of the future is not written by the great composers; they are too busy making the most of the present. It is the restless, self-conscious, second-rate composers who are constrained to conceal the poverty of their invention by adopting deceptive mask of novelty. The great composer may be bold - as Wagner was in Tristan, and Beethoven in the last quartets - but he does not step outside the frame of his period; and it follows naturally that the great composers are admired and appreciated by their contemporaries."
Interesting... so the composers who are pioneers of their periods are not acknowledged as great composers? =P
Happy New Year everyone!
