First line
Until the last decade of the nineteenth century, music written by American composers was almost invariably modelled on the theory and practice of European convention.
From the rear cover
From the end of the nineteenth century a national musical consciousness gradually emerged in the U.S.A. as composers began to turn away from the European conventions on which their music had hitherto been modeled. It was in this period of change that experimentalism was born and America subsequently became, as it still is, a major source of new musical ideas for European musicians.
