AND ITS MAKERS
A. (JolumsL (DA. fjkniL J/uutlc
"It may seem to some that to publish a
book on music in the midst of the economic
dislocation, political distraction, and social
dishevelment that haunt the spirit of civi-
lized men the world around is a little like
fiddling while Rome burns. Would it not be
better to declare a moratorium on the arts
until we have made a better job of assuring
food, clothing, and shelter to the millions?
I feel profoundly the mood that makes such
a question possible. And I should say
"yes" to it if I did not believe that the arts
—and music most of all—can help rather
than hinder us in making conquest of the
forces that today threaten the stability of
our social order and the security of our
lives."
Hard to Believe .
But True!
