Music in the middle of the 20th Century had been hijacked by Academia. Webern was in. Lyrical tonality was verboten. When Stravinsky owned-up to adoring Tchaikovsky, considering him the most talented of all Russian composers, alarm bells should have gone off in the halls of music schools everywhere. A fatal disconnect between ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
