I think that the answer depends on whether we are looking at the traditional sources or the newer ones. The traditional sources of radio, tv, newspapers and record stores are clearly drying up. However, here comes the Internet. For many folks of the younger generation, those traditional sources mean very little. They use the Internet for buying cds, downloading music, and reading more about classical music than can be found in a typical library. Personally, I rely on both the Internet and traditional sources, finding myself quite satisfied with this mix. Let's face it - classical music will always be a specialist category. Fortunately, the Internet is an amazing place for specialist needs. Overall, I don't consider classical music to be fading in the least. We are a small but very dedicated group with much higher than average incomes. If you spend it, the product will keep flowing. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
