I came across this program yesterday. It's Leonard Bernstein in 1957 talking about "Modern Music". Yes, it's 55 years old but what a pedagogue this man was and you should watch this 50 minute program if you want to trace the history of scales and tonality. Take no notice of the pompous git, Derek Cooke, introducing the program. He's a thoroughgoing pain in the rear.
