Well, there has been *some* decent classical written
in the last 100 years. Copeland was good. Dvorak
wrote this c., didn't he? And there are others. But
since the 60's about the only decent stuff was written
for movie scores. Not surprising, much of the best
classical was written as overtures to operas before
the movies. To my ears the "experimental" music is
vile noise. I prefer almost anything but that Zairean
stuff.
