520    In this survey of the most significant composers and their techniques over a period of more than half a century, the author discusses the principal events and trends of modern musical history. He describes and illustrates the continued but declining commitment to tonality, the establishment and exploration of twelve-note serialism, and the gradual emergence of new aesthetic attitudes and concepts of musical form.
