True, but only because few people create anything of lasting value. You aren't likely to create anything of lasting value by tagging along on some established style either. Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Cage, Stockhausen, Xenakis come quickly to mind as having been on the cutting edge of music and making lasting contributions. being on the cutting edge can be a side effect of creative, even profound, thinking. k --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
