The Crossroads Of Music (Which Led To A Crisis)
"A concert-goer in the early 1930s would have been faced with two completely different musics - one (Vaughan Williams, Holst, Sibelius, Walton, Strauss, Busoni) remaining within the bounds of the tonal language, the other (Schoenberg and his school) consciously departing from the old language, and often striking a deliberately defiant pose towards it."
