Is considering something to be dated presentism, despite how influential it may have been?

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the last people on this forum you could criticize for presentism as I primarily listen to classical music, and great art is timeless.
I think what Frown was saying was that judging music's creativity by how it stacks up to music that stood on its shoulders is limiting to your perception.
