Extract:

"The crisis of music, which needs no introduction, does not have to do merely with the difficulties of consistent and meaningful form-creation, not merely with the commercial hardening and leveling of musical life, not merely with the rupture between autonomous production and the public. Instead, all this has accumulated to the point where quantity is translated into quality." (p. 135)
