Although I am in sympathy with modern idioms, I abhor music which attempts nothing more than the illustration of a stylistic fad.

The complaint about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernize, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated.
