[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 858608, member: 17918"] Classical music is still being composed (eg. Max Richter), the major difference is that it takes years to compose during which the composer has to feed themselves so unless they are an academic or financially ahead of the pack there is little opportunity. The 18th and 19th centuries (and periods before and after) were fertile periods for composition because of patronage of the composers by the royal and provincial courts. This pretty much died in the early 20th century (so people like Boulez, Stockhausen and Lygeti were more likely to be academics who also spent time composing rather than full time composers). Less people are also likely to follow that path as an academic career is not as financially rewarding as becoming a session musician or joining a band. [/QUOTE]
