4 - Modernism, Democracy and the Politics of Lateness: Kaikhosru Sorabji and The New Age
Summary
The only vital creative work still being produced to-day is either the work of men well over middle age, such as Sibelius, Ernest Bloch or Medtner, or that if and when the work of any younger men shows any real creative vitality and drive, as opposed to a cheap-jack smart-Alec musical wisecrackery, it is the work of men creating in comparative obscurity, unknown, boycotted or both, and for one reason or another personae ingratissimae with the organized gangs, cliques, rings and institutions of music.
