Among the composers discussed are Wagner, Stravinsky, Debussy, Shostakovich, Gershwin, Cage, Schoenberg and Richard Strauss. The series covers, among other topics, the musical revolution in Vienna at the turn of the 19th century, the move from melody towards tone colour and the influence of past music and other cultures on American composers.
