...Miniver (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is that almost impossible feat, a great war picture that photographs the inner meaning, instead of the outward realism of World War II.

I think that the answer to the barrenness of their music lies in the confused and dislocated emotional lives of the composers themselves, rather than in any conscious theories they might hold about musical objectivity in a scientific world...
