Me: >I would love to hear a modern piece written in the baroque or classical >style. Richard Todd: >Why? Because I think it would be very interesting to hear how a modern composer, aware of the modern "achievements in harmony, form, etc.," would compose in either the classical or baroque style. In my post, I didn't mean to imply that a modern composer would be able to create a work in the musical styles of 200 or 300 years ago. I guess another reason I would like to hear a modern baroque work, for example, is that, although I am making progress dragging my sensibility into the 20th century, I feel more comfortable listening to baroque and classical music than I do more modern music.
