Scope and content
Rough draft/outline on how to adequately prepare a nation to participate as active audiences in musical life. Composition and performance are specialized skills, but the audiences are disappearing because the nation is unprepared for that role. The solution is in the education system; Zuckerkandl focuses mainly on liberal arts colleges and critiques the typical music appreciation class. Presents the music curriculum at St. John's College as part of the Great Books program as a possible solution.
