Well, Frank Zappa did definetely not thought that Webern, was sterile, formulaic, let alone boring...

You are dead wrong. There goes a direct line from the old masters to Webern. (Even much more so to HIM than to certain other composers!) It is just a token of the overall alienation of the masses, alas.

im not saying on a massive scale, but all that stuff would certainly be alot more accessible to the average person than this crap

So if Webern was shot dead at 13 instead of 63, the masses were relishing Beethoven, Liszt, Mahler, Busoni, Wagner, Hugo Wolf, Debussy,Schönberg, Bartók, and Ockeghem, Schütz, Gesualdo, Palestrina, right now, on a massive scale? No way.

I do not agree so much. His most unaccessible works are his later vocal and choir works. They are quite pious and very austere. There are not many (if any?) on YT. These here are his most appealing qua atmosphere and poetry, and associations. And of course the ones you mention. I like to point out that 'Entflieht' is not yet on YT either... A task?
