It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Supply/Demand

I've always felt that part of the solution is a supply and demand approach.

The major orchestras give 3 to 4 concerts per week. If they put Webern on the program, orchestras see that as having 3 to 4 nights of bad ticket sales, and thus, don't program Webern at all. My solution: put Webern on the program, but only have the concert repeat once -- so 2 nights as opposed to 3 or 4. And when you put Beethoven's 5th on the program, repeat it up to 6 times. Now some orchestras do the latter, but not the former.
