They're missing out on something other persons by definition do get from the music - unless we're strangely smug about our own strengths and limitations as auditors. The only true limitation on stretching our ears to accommodate new imaginative ways of looking at things is the old enemy - time. Mr Crone has decided he doesn't have time for Ligeti. Well, my Millennium Resolution happens to be not to waste any more of mine trying to get to grips with old Johannes Brahms. We're both the losers, and our inadequacies are no reflection on the quality of two great composers, or on the pleasure that other listeners get out of them.
