Contemporary Music provides a sharp and insightful examination of the shifting landscape of musical expression during the early twentieth century. Written by the esteemed critic Robert H. Hull, this work delves into the aesthetic and technical developments that defined the modern sound of its era. Hull explores the works of pivotal composers and the emergence of new movements that challenged traditional harmonic and rhythmic structures, offering a contemporary perspective on what was then the vanguard of the art form.

The book serves as a vital historical record of musical thought during a period of intense creative experimentation. It offers readers a thoughtful analysis of the transition from late Romanticism to the diverse modernist styles that followed. By evaluating the trends and personalities that shaped the musical world of the 1920s, Hull provides a clear-eyed perspective on the challenges and triumphs of contemporary composition.
