Hi,
I'm reading the book "The Lives of the Great Composers" by Harold C. Schonberg. In the introduction he briefly talks about contemporary music and states that musical Minimalism is "baby music." (and implies that it is not deserving of being considered part of the musical legacy of the "greats").
Is Minimalism so simplistic as to be appropriately labeled baby music (even in jest)?
Or is Minimalism a legitimate part of the tapestry of western art music worthy of the musical legacy of Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, etc.?
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
