Lost in America?

Interesting story published this week in the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth, Texas, home turf of Van Cliburn and the annual Cliburn Piano Competition.

Only two Americans have won the Cliburn, possibly the most prestigious piano competition in the world, in the last 20 years. And for the third year running, no Americans have made the semifinals. Evidence of the decline of classical music in the American cultural and educational landscape? Some people think so.
