Steve Riech and Phillip Glass have decided to write music which appeals,
largely, to a different group of people than the audience for the standard
repertory. Whether that audience will be self sustaining enough to go on
a century hence is an open question. Just as, in 1799, whether Haydn and
Mozart were going to move from being popular composers who had a following,
to having a self-sustaining audience.
But it is, basically, a different question.
