In Reply to: Art and music: can non-intellectuals appreciate post-19th century music posted by tinear on March 11, 2011 at 10:59:41:
I'm not sure that Bach, Mozart, Brahms are loved or understood by very many people today. Mahler, Ives, Berg, and other "post 19th century" composers are loved and understood only slightly less, IMO. Classical music makes some people want to barf, there's no telling how music might affect an individual. Post 19th century classical music is described as "inaccessible" and difficult to understand sometimes, but it's almost a moot point because fewer and fewer people are listening to classical music at all any more.
