Excerpt from Post-Victorian Music: With Other Studies and Sketches Into the details of the programme - occasionally quite Gampish in their Teutonic homeliness - we have no intention of entering. But it is surely permissible to ask a plain question. If Strauss finds it necessary to supplement the ordinary full orchestra by at least twenty extra players, including a quartet of saxophones, in order to depict a normal day - devoid of any exciting incidents - in the home life of a young married couple, how large an orchestra and how many unfamiliar instruments will he need to delineate a really tragical episodep By employing the fullest possible amount of musicalmachinery to render justice to a tranquil and idyllic theme, he has left himself no margin, no reserve to cope with the needs of a soul-shaking crisis. Armageddon is reduced to the same level as a baby's bath, and the friendly argument of fond parents over the education of their young hopeful is raised to the plane of a conflict of Titans.
