This article seems reasonably objective at first, until it suddenly turns on you and becomes extremely opinionated: "The problem is that Glass’s music fails to do what I believe all great music does, which is to structure time in a profoundly meaningful way" Not really. When I'm composing something, and I find myself forced to backtrack and rewrite my work, lest it sound "too glassy", which I know everyone would complain about, then that's a rather clear sign that Glass is now settled as a great composer. It's not an understatement to say that he changed the history of music, and that his style is likely to influence most, if not all future composers.
