Right.  Although there does not seem to be a decent equilibrium between
contemporary composers and audiences, I don't see where "blame" has
anything to do with it.  Nobody is doing anything wrong; composers and
audiences are just doing what comes naturally.  It's the ushers who are
screwing everything up; they make great scapegoats.
