I am a new reader to this newsgroup and a lover of classical music.
With that aside, I'll say something outrageous:  NEARLY EVERYTHING WRITTEN
AS CLASSICAL MUSIC IN THE LAST 50 YEARS IS GARBAGE!!!  It's as though
composers forgot that they are supposed to be writing music that people
can enjoy - that is pleasing to the ear.  I've tried - really tried, to
enjoy this stuff.  My impression is that most modern composers are trying
to outdo each other by writing music that sounds as if it originated on
MARS!  I'd rather listen to ROCK and ROLL.  At least you can dance to it!
