Vienna 3 / Narrative 4
Decision (Eva)

Listen, all of you! Tradition has croaked her last. And did she have a sweet face? Pah! Witness our beauteous Vienna. A derivative hodge-podge of ersatz Greek, neo-Gothic, restored Baroque. Pah! It’s our time now. You, Jakob, you can’t measure your music out in old meters. You, Franz, you can’t paste a new frieze on an old wall. We will do the demon dance of the new. Or dry up and die.
