This work explores the evolution of music in the aftermath of World War I, reflecting on various composers and styles, along with the cultural implications of these musical developments. The essays address prominent figures in music history and critique the future directions that art music may take following the war.  At the start of the collection, Van Vechten discusses the transformative impact of the Great War on the world of art and music, arguing that traditional forms have become outdated and predicting a shift towards more primitive and disharmonic musical expressions. He provides insights into the thoughts of contemporary figures, like Leo Stein, and critiques the decline of German music while advocating for the potential of Russian and other new compositions. Van Vechten anticipates a post-war musical landscape that reflects the intensity of collective suffering and a movement away from established norms, highlighting composers like Igor Stravinsky as leading figures in this coming musical renaissance.
