Well if you're writing replacement pieces in case people get bored of listening to the same Beethoven or Mahler, your chances are much greater than if you're actually, say, trying to do something that may involve offending someone's delicate sensibilities that orchestral music should always sound like this. And yeah, it's sort of sad that crap like this gets played, again, since it's stand-in and sounds practically the same as the other viable stuff for orchestral repertoire. This is mostly why MOST composers don't write for orchestra these days, you only get played if you sound like other things already getting played constantly (Beethoven, Mahler, etc.) Sad as it may be, Tokke may be as well successful in that respect, but only in his copying since he's competing after all directly with them warhorses. Guess who'll eventually win?
