But just saying that sometimes a more modern style acts as a gateway into classical music for anyone approaching from that modern direction. For instance, back in the day Robert Miles was very popular with young people... me included... a mixture of dance music and piano that has gone on to become standard 'lift music' fare in shopping centres ever since But from the perspective of a classical music only fan, like you, I doubt that would be appealing from what you've said... it certainly was repetitive... as dance music tends to be... so not a patch 'real' compositions... but still nonetheless a gateway into piano music. But at the end of the day, I don't know what else I can say other than you can't please everyone at the same time... but I get that if you've paid to see a show, and have certain expectations about it, then it makes sense that you should have 'right of way' as it were, and get what you've paid for... leaving anything experimental to perhaps free radio stations or whatever... so still a means to hook new listeners but not at the cost of whatever you pay to see a show.
Well, anyway.... what you wrote was far superior to Finding Rothko. And to think it was your first try!
I could be wrong but it sounds as if the Kansas City Symphony is 3 morons with kazoos farting through them!
