All music is written by humans and all humans are creatures of their
time . When you study those who are labled "ahead of their time" you see that what they were/are is fully in their time ,aka the present.
The greatest of the great are shaped by the social conditions of their time, their mother tongue and historical events .The universality of art
is that it intensifies human experience but this is always effected by the circumstances around its creation .
I make a point of listening to and trying to understand the music of living composers with varying results ,not for fun I would
rather just listen to Bach, Brahms, Schubert and Moz,art and be done with it , I listen to classical music, of MY time because if I do not I may be walking and talking but truth be known I would just be another among the walking dead .
