To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the tyranny of chamber music necessarily results in the impoverishment of other forms. Absolute music carried to its logical conclusion would not only become the enemy of the theater, which is a tangible art, but would drive from the stage song, bound up as it is with a text and a content. 17 18 ADOLPH WEISSMANN There are indications, however, that the dogma of the absolute is not adopted in its entirety. For example there are parody and the grotesque which play so large a role in modern mu...sic and of which the early Stravinsky was the pioneer. The chief resource of parody is rhythm, which is derived from vital human activity. Here music breaks away from the absolute, is indeed relative in the extreme. In parody, no matter how removed one may feel from the object of the jest, one's fundamental concern is with very tangible things. Turning from the grotesque to dynamism, which is equally important in the new music, one recognizes another violation of the principle. This is particularly true of orchestral music.
