Excerpt from The Rhythm of Life The last twenty-five years of the nineteenth cen tury mark the beginning of a change, not only in Eu rope, but in America as well. Since then, this change has been gradually going on, affecting almost every thing in life; but while the old is rapidly passing, it is, as yet, only the spring-time of the new, when ideals have not yet taken definite form, so that the whole world to-day may be said to be filled with unrest and expectation.

In the music of to-day there is the search after some thing that has not yet been attained, which is evidenced by the increased use of chromatics, changes of modu lation, and hitherto unheard of departures in time and rhythm.
