Imagine Classical Music in today’s world of environment, innovation, and evolution.
In my opinion, the definition of Classical music needs to be expanded. Consider the evolution of "Form and Analysis" in the "B" trio - BACH, BEETHOVEN, and BRAHMS. Viewed from a societal perspective, as modern society changed, so did the rules of composition. It became impossible for BACH to be anything but BACH... and now only "Imitators" need apply.
The earphone or earbud reigns as "King" - What we hear is in accordance to the innovation of the auditory invention.
Just imagine the music produced should BEETHOVEN have had the choice of a cochlear implant...
