May I add the observation that at this point it is pretty difficult to
write original "serioso" concert art NON-12tet music that is not:

1) Minimalism

2) Prokofievian rewrites of history

3) Serialism (still) or "derivative" pieces in a more extended
"theatrical" version of this genre

4) Theatre pieces
