Re: [ARSCLIST] Elliott Carter

[Peter Hirsch <punto@xxxxxxxx>]

Most definitely still living (at least as of a few minutes ago). For a 
while, Ornstein seemed to be a permanent figure as OLC, but even he 
couldn't make it past 108 (if you go by wiki's dates) and he stopped 
composing at the tender age of 97. Menotti just crapped out at a paltry 
95, so I really don't know of an heir-in-waiting.

Babbitt?
