Hi I think I've been abit out of order with posting that list tbh. I would argue that tonality is far more meaningful (to me at least) than atonal works. However, rather than explaining why, I'll empathise with atonalists trying to get their works accepted into the standard repetoire.

If you're familiar with the proms, which is a huge collection of annual concerts held in England, you'll no doubt be aware of its success and popularity. Now the proms does play new works every year, but the majority are older works. I argue that the old works are better but that's irrelevent.
I think a positive step would be to try to organise a similar event, dedicated to atonal works. If such a thing was put on, the public could be introduced to more 'bizarre' harmonies and more contemporary musical idioms.
The Proms has inspired countless number of 'romanticists', maybe an huge atonal event would inspire a bigger atonal audience?

I'll be honest I don't particularly care how big the atonal audience is, but I feel sorry for people who think their work could be ignored, simply because people aren't used to listening to their musical style.

EDIT: I think if the audience are used to stranger harmonies, they might be more reluctant to tout The Pirates of The Carribean soundtrack as being an example of musical genius for example. Maybe musical standards on the whole would rise?
