I don't know, I dont want to start a polemic here, but my impression is that America just got stuck in the 19th century, not only on an aesthetic level, clearly demonstrated in its contemporary classical music of the last 50 years, but if one looks at what is happening in politics currently, most certainly. But it is a fact that the US has the economical and political hegemony in the world, so they have obviously also dominated the art world very much the last century. And I'm not very sure that this is the legacy that Cage wanted.

Hello! I would like to order piano sheet music from your website, tell me, can I do this if I am from Ukraine?

You think that American classical is stuck in the 19th century? Have you heard literally any of Steve Reich's works?
