"Accessible" has become a euphemism for tolerable, not likely to drive
audiences from their seats in flight from atonal screeching. The fact is
that much of, if not most of, classical music itself is inaccessible by
virtue of its sheer complexity, the depth of thought, and the attention
span required of its listeners. But, yes, there was a lot of melodic music
composed last century.

stive for a high level of artistry.
