Then, there are the artists who believe that the public has to be educated to appreciate their work. That’s a lot of nonsense," Heus maintained with passionate indignation.

Each said that modern classical music is driving audiences in droves from the concert halls and called for today’s composers to go back to such greats as Debussy, study their works and start over again. That same advice applies to artists: painters need to go back to the old masters and start over again, he maintained.
