This book is divided into three main sections: the development of twentieth-century concepts, minor and major developments in Europe, and "The American scene."
This book is enjoyable to read. A person who knows nothing about contemporary classical music can read this book and know about the lives and the music of all of classical music's most important composers. It tells about the distinguishing features of the composer's musical work in general and goes in to more depth on several of modern music's most important compositions. I highly recommend this book.
