Such funding created unrealistic expectations from which we are still recovering. Such funding is largely gone now and the arts must survive on local contributions, often from the artists themselves. We are going through a difficult transition, as a result, and the arts will be changed because they will usually have to respond to local pressures and taste. It is not a question of survival, however.

How is this a fantasy? In the last 5 seasons alone I can find at least 69 U.S. performances of the Cello Concerto, 46 of the Fantasia, and 13 of Das Lied. You don't need to fantasize. What?
