    • Abstract:
      This article presents a conversation with renowned U.S. music conductor and composer. On being asked about the transition of musical to serious music in the U.S. Bernstein commented that it is growing in such a vital way that it may wind up soon. This transformation will certainly treat the English language in a natural way so that composers could do serious things through music and say serious things through music in the theatre without sounding like a translation from the musical composition "Aida."
