One underestimated reason for the dearth of "good" "modern" "classical"
music is that many, if not most individuals with instrumental and
compositional talent have chosen to work in jazz and other idioms,
where they can find audiences.  This leaves "classical" composition
mainly in the hands of academics, reactionaries, and experimentalists.
