Me too.  All the criticisms may be true from some point of view, but
ultimately beside the point.  It reminds me of all those Restoration
and 18th-century critics and playwrights who patronized poor Shakespeare,
who obviously didn't know how to write a play because he didn't follow
Aristotle.  Dryden - no mean poet himself - even rewrote Antony and
Cleopatra into the incredibly dull All for Love.

I hate to point this out, but Rachmaninoff is a 20th-century composer.
As to the mediocre 20th-century composers, probably none of them has
written anything as good.  However, I can think of lots of composers of
the twentieth century who have written works that I like as much as or
even more than some works of Schumann, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff.  Still,
I don't see the need to beat down one group in order to raise the other.
