>go to /classical/
>ask for a contemporary tonal composer
>they link me minimalist pieces
>tell them that this won't do it for me, I want a new Beethoven: someone that, without being derivative, touches the artistic and technical peaks that were touched by the great Western composers
>dude listen to Arvo Part, you think he's not the new Beethoven only because you've got prejudices

This is it, all hierarchies in art are gone. In 50 years from now people won't even know what you mean when you're asking for a new Beethoven, for they are incapable of making judgements without objective proofs. Humans are losing their edge, the inability of being arbitrary will, in the long run, definetely kill, slowly, everything that is and has been beautiful in the world.
