Thank you Teo.
This is a very interesting topic, and requires quite a bit of thought.
I think that a single answer cannot be found. Yes or No?
I don't know.
I think that in the far east we will find a lot of new young composers, and they are also interested in keeping the old symphonies alive. I think that it all depends which groups of people will answer these questions.

Or, to be more accurate, I can provide far too many answers, all of them possibly true. For each question there are two answers, roughly corresponding to yes and no, and attended by innumerable variationsuestions
There are very many young music students in Asia who will probably compose for the symphony, as well as keep the old symphonies vibrant and alive, in the near future, but I really don't know what will happen after 2 or 3 generations.
Love,
