Well wait a minute: you were the one who pointed specifically to serialism as the culprit for the “inaccessible” reputation of “modern music”. If you consider minimalists inaccessible also, why didn’t you include them in the blame?
No, I don’t think minimalists are inaccessible. You suggested that there is “increasing musical complexity,” and I was merely pointing out there doesn’t necessarily have to be “increasing musical complexity.”
I cited increasing musical complexity as the reason why serial music is considered “inaccessible”. I didn’t say anything about non-”inaccessible” music.
I like to point out this line in particular, and then point to minimalist (and post-minimalist) composers.
Music doesn’t have to get necessarily more complex. Composers, like any large group of people, don’t agree on anything.
