Much of the significant orchestral music written in the 'twenties and 'thirties was for comparatively small groups of performers. This was the result partly of a continuing reaction against the orchestral excesses associated with late Romantic music, and partly of economic conditions. The period also confronted players wtth music that was not merely difficult to play but also almost impossible to understand.
