For a majority of classical music fans, the prospect of hearing "contemporary" music is greeted with the same enthusiasm as an IRS audit notice. Taxing music, painful music, music by which to leave a concert before it happens. Hence the standard ploy of placing such music first, like a dose of cod-liver oil before dinner, to "do you good" but prevent mass exodus.
