Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Music After the Great War: And Other Studies
Szymanowski of Poland (if he is still alive) or a new Cesar Franck in Belgium who will rise to write of the intensity of suffering through which his country has struggled. But it seems to me beyond a doubt that music after the great war will be newer (i mean, of course, more primitive) than it was in the last days of July, 1914. There will be plenty of disharmonies, foreshadowed by Schoen berg and Strawinsky, let loose on our ears, but, in spite of the protests of Mr. Runciman, I submit that these disharmonies are a steady progression from Wagner, and not a freakish whim of an ah normal devil. I do not predict a return to Mozart as one result of the war.
