Gentlemen: Please don't say classical music is dying!

This is -- as a body -- the only music that speaks to me.  It goes beyond
the routine in every way, deeper, more stirring to the soul and to the
intellect.  It (mostly) doesn't have a damnably irking, repeated drum
cell.  It's not forever 'in your face' -- it's more subtle than that.
And, among its chief glories: its bandwidth keeps changing even within
movments or sections; it does not present a steady-state cell that invites
listeners to go ahead and tune out for awhile because you can tune back
in and not have missed much....

In every way, classical music invites close, attentive listening.

And because I'm a composer, its evolution is what I'm devoting my life
to.  At least in this little Arizona house, classical music flourishes!
