This entire comment rests on confusing the meaning of the word "classical." A rich person who listens to modernist composers like Boulez or Webern is still listening to "classical" music, as most people use the term. Classical in this instance refers to a particular music tradition beginning in the renaissance, not to the Greco-Roman stuff you're trying to get at. It begins with the death of God, not ends with it.
- friendlybus 8y agoIt is a literary version of the word classical. I agree people have made classical music in the modern era and the categories are different in music to writing. Just saying the train of thought when writing a conflict into a story is the classical approach is to have man vs nature, man vs man, man vs god. Modernist is man vs society, man vs self and man vs no god. Postmodernist would be man vs technology, man vs reality and man vs author. So the choosing of a backing music to fit a written fight would be reminiscent of the classical thinking that celebrates man vs man fights. Hans Zimmer would be the more modern composer that celebrates conquering the self in interstellar/inception, ect.
