About this book
Symphonies and Their Meaning; Third Series, Modern Symphonies is by Philip H. Goepp, with the year 1913. The preface says that criticism of contemporary art is really a kind of prophecy. The preface says that the classics live only because they still express the vital feeling of to-day.
A chapter headed Bohemian Symphonies says that in the music of modern Bohemia is one of the most vital utterances of the folk-spirit. The text says the ultimate weakness of the Wagnerian philosophy is that it finds in fatalism an excuse for the surrender of heroic virtue. The text says few pieces of program music are so closely associated with the subject as this tone picture of the Devil's Round.
