There's also the ticket sale factor, which is that Beethoven and Brahms pack houses, and with few exceptions, most 20th century music fails to draw an adequate crowd. I've observed a most striking incident of this two years with a Philadelphia Orchestra program that had the Dvorak Cello concerto before the intermission and Zemlinsky's Die Seejungfrau afterwards. Easily 20% of the audience did not return to hear the Zemlinsky. If people are not going to listen to it, why play it?This is where recordings come in. I always prefer to hear music live, but recordings are the most cost effective way to distribute contemporary music. Thankfully labels like BIS and Naxos will record the most unpopular non-mainstream music.
