It doesn’t explain his analogy between the 12 tone system and a horse.

A trojan horse, and he explains “dull on the outside and empty inside,” meaning, I guess, dull to listen to and not stemming from any genuine creative impulse. “Dragging it to a new Troy” would be a new attempt to promote 12-tone theory, I suppose. I don’t understand the bit about not having “systems or scholarship for armor.” I thought the big complaint about 12-tone music is that it is all “system and scholarship” and no genuine expression of musical meaning.
