What an extreme and inaccurate declaration! Many members of this list have
stated that they have found beauty in atonal music. Even I have, and I'm
not a regular listener to this music. Besides, each of us decides what is
beautiful and what is ugly.
The overt hostility to non-tonal music is amazing. You'd think that its
existence has caused lasting damage to classical music lovers.
