Update on Listening to the (Western) Twentieth Century

I had emailed the guy my view. His response gives hope that the title is indeed apt (while the summary apparently is not).

Response below:

Chandan,

The summary is a bit deceptive. In the final chapter of my book I talk
at length about Toru Takemitsu, Tan Dun, Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Kayhan
Kalhor, and other non-Western composers. I suspect that in the current
century the story of classical music will be increasingly non-Western
in orientation.

All best,

Alex Ross
