Summary:
Considers the musical legacy of two old men who had dominated the first of the 20th century--Schoenberg and Strauss--and looks at the post-war generation of young Europeans, such as boulez and Stockhausen, who were determined to erase the recent past and build a completely new music for a new Europe.
