You always 'in a mood' like this?

Nah, but you're fun to mess with.

His music has a much broader appeal than just your stereotypical 'classical listener' (or performer) of course. And being of 'our time' that is how it ought to be. High level composition & performance is much broader in the 20/21 centuries than a select handful of old concert halls, or traditional models and instruments. He was an obvious testament to that, able to support himself quite well, and the commissions never ceased, nor did the interest. A busy, fruitful, musical life .. composing, teaching, rehearsing, conducting, touring, recording, writing, publishing, garnering awards & honors, films/books etc., etc. ..  and to this day, concerts do well and occur frequently, recordings & scores are sold via his own record label and publishing, and students and interpreters are always studying his music. In fact, there is a whole foundation built supporting & preserving his music. Its very much alive out there.
Pretty fair description of Cage, there, except for the "via his own record label" part. Cage always generated enough interest in other people to get his things recorded and published. Otherwise, pretty fair description of him.

Why is it I can go see Dvorak's 9th, for example, performed by any major orchestra, even provincial orchestras for that matter, but I would have to wait until a 'Rest Is Noise' festival to hear any of Stockhausen's muzak? There may be performances of his music taking place but in order to see them you would have fly all the way across the world just to attend a concert.
With such an attitude, sir, what are you doing on this topic?  :) But audiences, at least in this country, have been conditioned to like stuff that's been played thousands of times already. Heaven/Corporations forbid they like anything really new! That would invalidate the marketers' algorithms! :laugh:

Yet fortunately, there are folks who like advanced music enough to produce, rehearse and listen to it. Some of us are right here on GMG.  ;D

I'm all for new music. I just get tired of James going on and on about Stockhausen. He isn't the only composer that ever lived as James would have us all to believe.

Give up on Stockhausen, we have Dvorak now. 8)
Classic!

Good job quoting it, too, Karl - I must have been busy when I read John's post the first time..
