Hi,

My son Robert showed me a paper he had to read for music ed class.

"The Present State of Unpopular Music" derived from a 2007 talk by John 
Beckwith.

Google it -- the PDF link doesn't paste well. York University Library 
has an open access copy at least.

Some interesting thoughts there on contemporary "art music" as some call it.

Cheers,

Richard
