TMers,

Contemporary music is being heard on our stages with unprecedented frequency (and thank God for that!). My question for you this morning is who amongst our living composers do you believe will become recognized as the Beethoven of his/her generation?

Thomas Ades comes instantly to mind for me, based upon his astonishing body of work and the international recognition that he is receiving. What about others? Perhaps Kaija Saariaho, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Einojuhani Rautavaara, or even John Adams or Maria Schneider?

I’m certain that Tristram, Stanford, Matthew, Sandy and Tom will want to weigh in here. What about the rest of you?

Curious, as always
