This of course does not come readily. Wagner for instance wrote purposeful music. He had a goal an Ideal a passion. He revved the ancient traditions of the teutonic Peoples just As Verdi inspired revolutionary nationalism As an italian Ideal. If such composers dragged i together a Bunch of instruments and just made noise they would undoubtedly have done As Well As the present noisemakers who Only make such noise to cover up their paucity of ideas. But the big folks did not Lack ideas just As we Ting Fang knew what he doing when he indented chop suey.
