What music will stand the test of time?

I mean time. A long time.

Mozart was composing 250 years ago, and we celebrate his music still.

What music from the last 60 or 70 years is going to last?

I think there are some jazz pieces that will likely last. John Coltrane and Miles Davis and Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk come to mind when I think of artists who have created some music I feel is eternal.

I have heard some orchestral music from this time period I feel may last, but I’m not a follower, so I don’t remember the names.

I have a hard time thinking of any popular music that will last.

I wonder about Broadway tunes. It’s possible that they will still be performed in theatrical circles, but I don’t think there’s a present day Shakespeare.

What do you think? What music is going to last? What will they still be performing in 250 years?
