Some of us like to associate bombast with musical romanticism, and it may be true that music from the "romantic era" is bombastic at times. Some of us might not know, however, that there was more than one Romantic era. Arnold Schoenberg announced the era of "New Romanticism" - ("Romanticism is dead. Long live the New Romanticism."). And did you know that Schoenberg - thorough genius that he was - stealthily and without fanfare introduced "New Bombast" as well? Before Schoenberg, emotional bombast was the norm. Afterwards, intellectual bombast came to the fore.
"He was one of those men who live in poverty so that their lines of questioning may continue." - John Steinbeck
