Spiritual power, hidden in music, is the foundation for its influence. Thus national expression as an exponent of value in music is not decisive. The music of the Baroque masters, medieval music and ancient sacred hymns captivates without us thinking about the composer. Nationalism in music cannot be prescribed or demanded; its features appear naturally and fruitfully.
