Of course. It's already proven itself and lasted this long.  Another 100 years won't be much more of a stretch.  500 years into the future would be interesting though.  I would think by then we would have passed into some new period/era of music.

As long as it's still widely performed/listened to while I'm alive, I don't really care  :P

I'm planning on still playing it then.
