The cut off for this statement to remain true is the 20th century, the player era. Again go back prior 19th century and it's the composers era. But moving forward now that we are in the 21st century the value of those giants of the player era are being diminished and indeed it is the echoes of Riley, Cage and Stockhausen that are having a resounding influence on this the machine era. I could say more but I'll just leave it at that.
