Congratulation, michael. You may now take your place in that long line
of savants who at one time or other have said, "this is it for music,
folks". Yeah, I know you were talking about classical only, but there's
more than just a style there, and it's not so easily passed off.
You can now be one with the guy who said in 1770 (the year of Beethoven's
birth), "Music is over. All modulations which are possible have been done,
and all themes worth writing have been written." or words to that effect.
While you're at it, you might inform us as to just exactly what wonderful
innovations and new schools of thought exist in the music *you* like.
And if you tell me "well, now they use a thingamajig instead of the dead
instruments classical musicians use" I'll crack up with laughter.
What do you think about minimalism? I'm not sure what I think of it, but
there's a new idea engendered in the classical world in the last 30
years. It's true that it has very quickly spread into "popular" music
(and that is *very* interesting, indeed - are we witnessing history in
the making?) but it didn't start there.
