About this audiobook
Americans spend more on music than any other nation. They have fine orchestras and one of the world's great opera houses. Yet they have produced almost no great music of their own. Deems Taylor asks why. He weighs the excuses given for American composers and tests each one.
This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns. Read by Ryan Durham in fifty-two minutes.
