About the book >.>.> In the field of music, as in all others, it is no easy task to define in a few words the characteristics of a century. This period of a hundred years, arbitrarily delimited, is much too long to present a uniform aspect; we must presuppose changes and development.

Without rejecting traditions of balance and harmony of recognized value, the century felt new needs for liberty and expression. Curbed for so long, their emergence would be marked by mounting imperiousness and audacity. Such a break is not accomplished without sharp conflict. The French Revolution comes to one's mind.
